Hawk Tornado single speed conversion, Swanston St, Melbourne












It's an interesting way to convert a roadie to a single speed. Not how sure the rear D works as a chain tensioner.  If anyone knows what the bolt on the front fork is for besides a pannier rack let me know.

  1. G'day,

    The bolt on the the fork is a dynamo mounting for old school headlights. There is an L shaped bracket that bolts onto the fork and the dynamo slips on to it. Malvern Star used to have them on their forks in the 1970's (Superstars and Skidstars,etc.)
