I picked up the last part I needed – the chain – last night, and assembled the last remaining pieces.
The crank is actually the triple crank from my Fuji that I replaced with a compact. The middle ring happened to be a 42 tooth – exactly what I wanted to put on the fixed, so I removed the inner and outer rings, and voila!
Finish it off with a pair of old pedals out of the junk parts bin, and it’s ready to ride. I haven’t taken it out for the maiden voyage yet, that will be tonight.
I still want to add a freewheel to the other side of the flip-flop hub, but that isn’t required for operation.
More posts to follow.
