Found this at a thrift store and converted it to single speed with a coaster brake for leisurely rides with the girlfriend. I would like to install a front rack/basket and use this as an errand bike as well.

Thanks man! I installed the risers after realizing the drops weren't ideal for casual riding. They definitely pulled the bike together.

Thanks! I'm actually trying to sell it currently. It doesn't get much road time any more. :(
