Hello everyone! I'm trying to get my daughter off her phone and out Into
The garage and the great outdoors. I thought a vintage bike may do the trick.
But..... A single speed just won't cut it around these parts.( hill country)
I'm eyeballing a 42 Columbia and a 60s sears spaceliner. She likes the
Sears better but it's asking price is significant.
Question is, how difficult would it be to retrofit a multiple speed drive say from
A modern mountainbike or ten speed? I am very mechanically inclined and have
A well established tool set. I know anything is possible with enough time and money.
But I'd love to knock something out in a weekend or two to keep her interested.
I'm sure it's been done before but I haven't had any luck finding info.
Anyhow, thanks for the forum and I hope to get some ideas.
