• Hi All, I recently converted this dinky town bike to single speed, it's steel, 48cm c-t, so suited to a shorter rider, and is made by a Belgian brand called Rapide. I couldn't find out much about the brand but I really liked the built in rear rack so have fixed it up with a modern 26" wheelset and a Shimano single speed freewheel.

    The parts throughout are quite nice, bars and stem are ITM steel ones, alloy SR Parade fluted seat post, Weinmann brakes, Lyotard pedals and I've fitted a Brooks B17s saddle in anticipation of a female rider. I also installed a new bottom bracket with narrow axle for a good chainline, plus the tubes and tyres are also new.

    The paint job is pretty ratty, but there are no dents etc and everything's running smooth and quiet so the bike's ready to go and is located in London E14 for viewing. I'm asking £150 £145 SOLD, shoot me a PM if interested or with any questions, thanks.
