I rescued an old, decrepit bicycle from someone's scrap heap last week. Raleigh 10-spd(?), downtube shifters, classic drop bars. The drivetrain is probably beyond hopeless, but the first thing I thought of when I saw the thing was "single speed." I'm not hardcore enough to go fixie*, though. Definitely freewheel. Maybe I'll swap the drops for bullhorns -- I like those.

I dunno. Just an idea. Duh, I should actually put some real miles on my first bike before I go tinkering with another one. But the design and implementation part is fun, too! If all the parts that go into the project bike are free, I can still justify it.

It would be incredibly smooth if I could get brifters to talk to my internally geared hub. Wonder if that's even remotely possible. I just don't know how these magical wire things work.
