I have a 1986 Schwinn Traveler, and I've made it into a single-speed by using the parts on the bike itself. I shortened the chain, got rid of the shifting components, and just kept the rear cassette. I know that is not the best way of doing it, but that was my only option at the time.
I was wondering the most cost effective way to do it the right way. I don't want to re-spoke my rear wheel because I have no experience with that. My question is since the front wheel isn't flattened on one side like the back is, could I just buy another front wheel, and then put a single-speed freewheel cog on it? Again I have no idea what I'm talking about, that's why I am posting this on here. Anything will help.
