Thread resurrection ahoy! Just wondering how the Javelin conversion went as I'm in the process of doing one myself and yeah, it's not proving to be the easiest (my 2 previous have been a breeze in comparison).
I've stripped it down to the bare bones and like the OP I've had some BB issues which led me to leave it as it is for now (cranks etc all in decent working order so might save myself a world of pain by leaving them). Forks, headset & stem are all sweet so again will keep them as is.
However, I have had to ditch the wheels as they were totally trashed so I'm in the process of sourcing replacements. Otherwise I should have enough bits and pieces around from my previous conversions to make a functioning single speed, hopefully!
Anyway, would be curious to see how this one worked out and if the OP stumbed across any other pitfalls on the way!
