Looking to fix up your bike for summer? My next podcast will teach you how to make an awesome single speed bike from a few junk bikes! My buddy Dave who messes around with bikes obsessively taught me a lot about bike building and the video is turning out great. I can’t wait to release it this Friday!

Sounds great! I was thinking about working on a bike this summer.
By single speed do you mean fixed gear? That’s a cool project. Just remember to watch your fingers!
Hey TheThompsonFive,
I will watch my fingers!!!
I was thinking about a fixed gear, but opted for a single speed with freewheel. I didn’t feel like NYC streets are a good place to test my ability to stop with reverse pressure.
Thanks for your comment.

Won’t it be kind of a short podcast? As in:
1. Remove chain.
2. Re-route around chosen chainring and cog without deraileurs
3. Remove appropriate number of links
4. Fasten chain
5. Remove unnecessary hardware
6. ?????
7. Profit!
I kid. I picked up a Gussett conversion kit last year, and have had a blast.
unless (oh no) they tell us how to make a bike from Scratch, using nothing but PVC, some abandoned tires, and some sort of rubberband.
THAT would be cool.
