My recent crapy conversions

Decided to bring new life to a frame that had sitting in the garage for a while and to give my son the chance of trying out singlespeeding on his former ride. We couldn't ride due to rain and had to find something to do on the afternoons.

This is a mid 90's Cannondale frame built with spare parts, cost of converting $2.

Since Little DeViL graduated to 26" wheels he's been asking about a SS for him to try. I tried to sell his geared bike and couldn't find a buyer, I went ahead and coverted it.
