i understand that its a mtb frame but i thought it was worth a try.

also is this a decent quality schwinn, I.E. not a wal-mart bike.

im thinking of building a single-speed commuter type frankeinbike and i need your help.

thanks!

Answer 1

Are we sure that's not a cross-frame?  It kinda looks like it.  That is what you'll probably need for 27 inch wheels, but for 25 bucks you can always try it.  It says it comes with wheels, anyway.  It does have horizontal drop-outs, so it is definitely single-speed compatible.
