Hi,
I'm trying to convert an old Marin frame (cromoly circa '91) into a single speed commuter beater bike. My goal is to only recycle and use parts that I have on hand so its going to be a bit tricky but should be fun. I have a couple of old cassettes. I pulled one apart to rob it of spacers and to get a cog and if fell right apart and I was able to get what I needed. I still needed more spacers so I tried pulling the other one apart and the pins that hold it together appear to be riveted in place. Is there anyway to get this thing apart? I may just try drilling the tops of the rivets out.
Speaking of spare parts, I looked closely at the front chain ring that I'm going to use. It a 38 tooth biopace. That thing should probably go into a museum of junk that should never have been invented....
Thanks. I'll send a picture when its done (entitled "Granny Porn").
