Why change the Chain ring?
Just curious why did you change the chain ring to 1/2" pitch?

Lots of reasons.
Chain wasted, wheels need to be worked on, I had all these parts laying around doing nothing after I parted out another bike.1/2 drive or skip tooth, it's rides great. I do plan on rebuilding the original wheels over the winter and finding another chain.

1/2" rides better!

I agree
Everyone loves the skip tooth, and I do too but you're right.1/2 drives are more dependable and more plentiful. When you build a non original bike, why not use what you got!

1/2" pitch was stock on many deluxe bikes.
Smoother ride and less weight, but there are probably other reasons why it won out over 1", too.
Skiptooth does look cool though!
