Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

oh whoops, I dropped my monster bidon that I use for my magnum drinks

Bought this a couple of weeks ago. 26” wheels, track drop outs. Was going to get re painted but actually in really good condition. Going to be a commuter to handle across the marshes from e17.

Looking to go single speed/fixed flip flop rear hub. What rims hubs should I be looking for?

Had when I bought it, as you may see sheriff stars hubs which I’m not going to continue to use but amazed still in great condition considering they have been commuted on since ‘94

Or you mean the actual bike?

Don't have much idea on 26" rims, but looks like a great frame.

Didn't think it was possible to only have one bike! But yes, the bike.

Muchas gracias.

Thanks. They seem pretty bombproof by all accounts.

Would like all silver but don’t seem to do them.

Wondering whether to get a geared hub to space to single speed or get something fixed with a ss cog ?

Also what would be the reason for this braze on? It’s it for a rack? But only on one side. Maybe for a light?

It's for a dynamo.

Oh right, thanks.

Similar to this when being used.

Ok right, for a rear light then? Looks like it’s never been used despite its being there.

Fun pic of frame?

Could be for both front and rear and it’s probably never been used coz it’s pretty inconvenient to press your dynamo against the tire with your hand while pedaling.

Ready for some functional 'light' touring to Harwich and on to NL today; not quite sure how I've ended up with such a full bag (ed.: It's because you've filled it with crap...)

What's the rear spacing like?

120 so guess that means track hub

Got one of those stringlight headsets that are impossible to find the tool for. But is nice and smooth roller one so for the time
Being it stays

700g though 😬

True, Andra specifies 825g in 559 though.

^ There's an £8 26" rim brake rim on PlanetX at the moment, would go for that myself
