Theres an advert for BFR's right next to the powerbite advert too so the rims are perfect era wise to the cranks.

looks like your nearly there dude.. you will have to run a small front chainring as the frame is designed for themI run 36t front 16t rear and it fine peddling wise ... 14t rear would be better but I got a fooking gert big motorbike chain on mine so I have to run 16.... I would get flip flop rear hub then you can try both.... what you doing for a seat...?seat post clamp size is 34.9and seat post size is 31.6
Your freewheel choice will depend on what hubs you have. Older mid hubs are normal oldschool thread size so the smallest you can use is a 16, or a 15 if you can find an AC Racing one (think i have a used one somewhere....) newer mid hubs will take the 30mm threaded freewheels. ACS make 14 and 15t, odyssey do a 13t. When you've sorted that, then you can choose a sprocket. If you go 13t at the back, then you want 33,34,35 or 36 up front. If you go 14t then 37, 38, 39 is fine. 15t will suit 39 to 42. You could go a tooth either way up front for build purposes but it might feel too easy or hard depending which way you go. Basically, what gearing you can run depends on the hub, or if you have a specific front sprocket in mind or in hand, then you need the right hub to accept the corresponding freewheel. Hope this makes sense!I have a nice chunky black BSD sprocket in 38t (uncommon size) if you get stuck, but its for 19mm cranks only!! Ahh the joys of midschool compatibilities.....
opc s came back at a point after being frowned upon for years. very much a mid skool thing . even generic bikes into early 00s..
Dead right. Primo axles are 22mm.
