Thinking of picking up this vintage Schwinn bike and doing my first single speed conversion. The dropouts are diagonal/horizontal which should work for chain tension-purposes, so I wouldn’t have to use a tensioner (I think).
I googled the frame and it looks like I may have to grind out the dropouts a bit to give me more flexibility on tension? I’m sure this is been done tons of times, but does it seem necessary on this bike?
