I have decided to take an interim step in creating the fixie. I have removed all the cogs off the rear freewheel and spun the 16t back on. This way I can get comfortable with the set up. Then eventually when I come across a fixed rear, for not a lot of $$. Ill switch.
The chain line this way is nearly perfect.
Unfortunately I don't like the current profile because I am still running the original crank set, which has a double chain ring RIVETED, :(
I could take a dremel to it but..^enh!^ its fine. Ill wait till I get the fixed rear wheel and switch then. Who's rushin'? I want this bike to evolve into something cool, not just get everything slapped together. Build a soul into it. An that can take time.

So cost so far:
I cant wait for the shitty weather to break so I can take it around the block.
- Yard sale bike - 15$
- Percy got $5 for helping me take off the freewheel.
- 4 hours in the garage dismantle, bar 'flip-n-clip', and polish.
