Hi, looking for some advice on converting this to a singlespeed - i was given it by grandad who had it custom built for him back in the day, he used to race semi professionally and apparently it was quite high end. I dont have much info on the frame and he doesnt really remember much, but on a sticker on the seat tube i can make out 'Metro Cycles London'. The gearing is pretty rough and its not getting ridden much, so i would rather like to convert it to a single speed - ideally i would like to keep the original wheels with tubs, and also been struggling to find a chainring for the old crankset. Any comments or advice appreciated.
