I’m trying to get my oldest frame set built up to use as a town bike, so I can tear down the current one(the 58 cm 87 Prelude), and send it packing with the two 60cm frame sets going to my friend’s rental place. So the tall Europeans have something bigger than a 54 that they can rent. That will leave me with only the coupled bike hanging as a frame set, and two road bikes, a town bike and a mtb. Building it entirely from the parts stash has been a challenge. I’ll likely have to put an old school cup and cone bottom bracket in it. Been awhile since I’ve done any of that. On the other hand, I might just keep the current town bike and give this one away. 27”wheels and all.

I would like to make it a single speed, but with a double chain ring and a seven speed on the back. Just no derailleurs. What say you LesterOfPuppets ?
