I decided to convert my old mountain bike over to a single speed bike. I like the simplicity of a single speed as well as the low maintenance. I took my bike to my local bike shop (Poppa Wheelie) and had Doug do the conversion. Doug had an a wheel he had re-dished and made special for a single speed conversion. I thought it was a great idea and had been wanting to do this for some time now. I have several other bikes, but thought this old commuter bike would make a great single speed bike.
Friday I picked up the bike as well as took my other commuter bike to get some new handlebars put on. While Doug worked on my KHS Urban Xtreme, I took the OLD KHS out for a ride around town. WOW! This feels so OLD SKOOL! I buzzed around town and seemed like I was riding my old BMX bike. This was so much fun! When I got back to the bike shop there was no doubt about my happiness with the conversion, I had a smile like a kid who had just got a new bike! Thanks Doug for all the work and I know I will have a blast on the bike.
