1980's Nishiki Custom Sport SS Conversion

This is my first single speed conversion. It’s almost finished. I just need to adjust the brakes and pump the tyres up.


Before


After!

I need to get a bigger chainring, but for now It’s 40/16.

New parts I had to buy were -

Chain
Freewheel
Brake levers & cables
Handlebars
Spokes
Hubs
Tyres
Tubes

Everything else was cleaned up and re-used. The rims were straight but dirty and they cleaned up really nicely.

nice! classy looking paint job, and 40/16 is not a bad ratio :slight_smile:
Good example of how nice and clean a conversion can be from a messy looking roadie.
