>>970861Yeah, I didn't put that saddle on there. Definitely not period correct and I think it might even be a women's saddle. I'll change it soon.
Anyway, the 12 to 6 conversion...
Long story short I ended up stripping out the derailleur hanger so I had to order one of the $8 eBay XUNDAH derailleurs that attaches by the dropouts. Because the derailleur hanger is in the way, I'm only able to use my bottom 3 gears. It's supposed to be temporary, but every shop I ask about fixing my stripped hanger ignores me so maybe not.
