My Geoffrey Butler conversion

Samsonite I want to get on a bike ASAP. I'm down to learn as much as I can, but I'm thinking that a new set of wheels for at least £150, then a new crank at £80ish, then all the chainline malarkey and the parts that go with it ain't going to get me on a bike any time soon. There's got to be £250 need for parts, before I start spending the time...

Perhaps I should go down the Fuji route to get riding, then do the project bike to learn the mechanics?

i know what you mean. i've done two conversions and i have learnt alot. but i'd probably just recommend you buy the fuji and then upgrade the rear wheel when you can (heard the hubs are a bit pony). if you want to be riding asap just buy one. on a drawn out conversion you can easily spend the 300 quid the fuji costs.
