Thanks, I found the Twenty site - that was a rabbit hole I disappeared down for a while but some very useful info.
Front end currently looks like this -
and I'm working on reducing the bb to 68mm. I couldn't get the old drive side cup out so I'm hoping by cutting away the bb I'll expose enough to grip and turn it.
I’m in the process of converting my wife’s Raleigh 20 (hopefully) into my fixed wheel commuter. I’ve got a 450mm seatpost to start dialling the fit before I commit to too much spending. It’s just long enough and there are new tyres en route.
A nitto NTC 280 stem should just about give the stack I need but I could do with more reach than the 100mm. As it doesn't actually need a quill wedge, would a section of plain gauge stainless tube be strong enough to not overly endanger my teeth?
