any cranks should do. put your desired ring on the front and use cassette spacers (some should come in the SS kit) to get your chain line straight.

yeah man i got some Smile probably wrap them in bar tape to, im off now to go talk to my boss about buying the bike Big Grin

and yes i know how a SS kit works, and chain lines Razz

-

another idea, i got some town bike style bars, i seen really similar ones on 29ers, then becouse they are thicker i cant use normal mtb levers so those with some cycle cross levers

also thinking of a 69er conversion later on

what you all think?
