I picked up a frame for dead cheap that will be the foundation for a polo and general shenanigans bike.
The frame is a Swinnerton touring frame, about 30 years old by the look of it. I'll have pics of it once I strip it of the stuff it currently has on it and clean it up.
What I now need is a decent supply of stuff to throw on it, cheap as chips, and the guidance on the mechanical side of things.
The head I think will be OK, same with the bottom bracket.
Things I need to find:
[ulist]
[li]Wheels (fixed)[/li]
[li]Bars[/li]
[li]Stem[/li]
[li]Saddle[/li]
[li]Cranks[/li]
[li]Chainring (small)[/li]
[li]Cog (large)[/li]
[li]Chain[/li]
[/ulist]
Basically... everything.
If anyone has spares that want to get rid of and want to see them recycled for fun, then please let me know.
I'll use this thread to document the conversion as I go along, and I'm sure it will involve some problems along the way :)
