[RBW] $500 commuter bike as a low-budget AHH?

OK, where'd that fixie wheel go? And I wonder if one of the cogs off my '79 Shimano 600 cassette will work? On May 10, 8:41 pm, CycloFiend wrote: > on 5/10/09 1:48 PM, nick.bike.b...@gmail.com replied to: > > > > > what James Dinneen wrote: > >> If you do decide to experiment with a single spe
