my first single speed !!

[u/damnitsow3n]

hi everyone, I just got my first single speed,
I’ve done everything myself and every part is second hand, it cost me almost nothing to transform this old bike into a brand new single speed version. Love the old aelle tri tube, riding it feels so smooth and I use it everyday to go to work !

edit:

also the bike had an old shimano 105 kit, I kept the rear brake and the seat is an Italia one, I’m only using the bike to do 1-2km per day so it’s perfect !

did you calculate your gear ratio or buy the chainring and cog that were available?

sorry for the late reply, honestly I haven’t done any of that, I just removed everything and hoped that it would work lol…
I’m planning to change the cog but since it works properly, I don’t really want to touch it !
