Make your bike into a single speed hipster bike! This week Dave Neff joins me to take some old broken bikes and mash them up into a new radical ride. Everbody's experience will be different, but we rebuilt the bottom bracket, put new wheels on, chopped and flipped the handlebars, took off one of the front chain rings and put on a single speed bmx-style gear in the back.

exactly, what about finding a bike frame with no rust, no dents, that fits you too.this project is good in spirit but a drastic oversimplification. what about measuring the chain length?what about finding/buying the right wheels?what about wrapping the bars with grip tape?you didn't mention pedal installation either.stupid hipsters, not necessarily you guys who made the video...just in general hipsters suck
