Right on. Thanks guys. That was pretty much my guess. I may just have to live with it or the lathe route. Thanks for putting heads together and your suggestions!

Seat post says 30.9 on it. I measured the two clamps with a tape measure. A couple of mm's is only .08" or so; pretty tiny difference. I don't have a caliper. I took the clamp off my 2007 Enduro FS Trail III as well as the seat and just tried them on the P2. Seat fits the same and the FS...
Tried to replace the "integrated" seat collar clamp with a 35mm Salsa clamp. I can clamp the Salsa quick release all the way down and then screw it closed until both sides of clamp are touching. AND I can still pull the seat out of the frame.!!:mad::mad:
Question- Despite my LBS telling me...
I pulled the trigger. I got the phil wood single speed hub, Mavic729 rim, black 14g spokes and nickel nipples (I just like saying that last one). I'll add a White Industries freewheel once I have it built.
I think I want DMR Motos!?
Thanks for the education you guys!

Right on. Thanks Sittingduck. Appreciate you responding to these! I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest option. As dorky as it sounds, I'm kinda wanting to pimp it. I'm 31 and can't ride worth a ****. But now I can afford a lot of the stuff I couldn't when I was younger. :thumb: :p...
LBS didn't convince me to go with a new hub. I've heard the hubs on the 07 P2 are unreliable. The rear rim is tweaked so it was a good place to start. I told LBS I was interested in converting to single speed.
Really, my original question was- should I go with a setup that is designed...
Thanks you guys! This really helps. I think what they showed me at the LBS was a fixed gear hub. Which, I think, would explain why I was told I would need a freewheel.
Personally, it seems I'd be better off with a good singlespeed hub with a built in freewheel so that I can run different...
That's weird. I thought my LBS told me that I needed to put a freewheel onto a single speed hub!? Or, I could purchase a regular hub (that you'd normally use multi-gears on) and put a single speed kit on it!?! Am I confused?
Matt
Excuse my lack of knowledge. I think "freewheel" is the term for a rear hub that's to be used with a cassette. Either way, I'm trying to figure out what to use. I want to make my '07 P2 a single speed. Should I use a single speed hub or a "cassette" type with a single speed kit on it...
She's got great haunches too!...uh, it's getting kinkier. Seriously, she has good muscle on her legs! I have a love for those dogs that rivals my bike riding. I had to put mine down about a year ago and it still kills me. I can barely look at her picture.
A vibra-plate is one of those...
I appreciate the input guys! I'm actually pretty sure he's open to $200. I'm starting to think I need to offer him about $150.
I've never purchased a 'used' bike before. Is there some tricky areas I should look at for wear? THanks again guys!

Hello,
I'm obviously new to the site. I've used the search button quite a bit in an effort to answer this question with moderate results. So, I thought I'd throw it out there to the more experienced.
I'm looking to purchase a used '07 P2 Crmo. It appears to have had no maintenance since...
