[ShiftlessBastards]

@ORTA47 We chopped them down with a pipe cutter.

[PolskiSmok24]

[NWforager]

[nytmar3]

good knowledge to know in the uture! oh and wats the first song playing in the background?

[ShiftlessBastards]

@nytmar3 something by the flaming lips.

[nytmar3]

haha thanks man i used to hear this song playing at random places and wonder what it was called! oh and im having a problem taking off my pedal crank cartridge...i get the crank side off but not the other...might be rusted?? im trying to change my pedals because i recently converted back to a fixed gear =]

[TheFiddleyfingers]

has anyone ever heard of the make ''hawk'' for road bikes?

[420witchdoctor]

I like that shirt, brotha.

[ShiftlessBastards]

Yes, a Schwinn Varsity will work just fine.

Depending on how much you want to do to the bike, really the only thing you can't change is the frame itself.

Providing that nothing is out of whack, the dropouts should be long enough to suffice, and that is the only really holdup.

Good luck!

Let us know how it goes.

[ThePooptet]

are schwinn varsity's good to convert into a fixed gear? Someone is selling a complete Varsity in good condition and I want to try to convert it.

[VeniceBitch]

there ok

but there too heavy compared to other fixie bikes

[ShiftlessBastards]

yeah, no problem!

[shaokem]

I'm planning on turning my old panasonic into a fixed gear custom. Thanks for the vids man!

[ShiftlessBastards]

Great lesson on how to wrap bullhorn bars. I am planning on wrapping my own bullhorn bars on my Redline 925 so this is quite timely and useful. Thanks for all the pro tips in it. It's going to make a big difference. I wasn't sure which way to wrap so this helps.
