If you want to make it a single speed, the magic gear for that frame is 46X18. Chain tension is perfect.
I wasn't really interested in riding a single speed, but I thought it would be interesting to build one. I used a frame I got for $25 and mostly parts I pulled from other bikes. It turns out that it's so much fun to ride that I've been neglecting my other bikes.
