First of all: Hello.
I've been lurking in the forum shadows for a while now, getting info on the best way to go aboot building/buying my first fixie. I'm almost there, just waiting on my IRO frame to arrive at Cavendish cycles....
Along the way my I rescued this Raleigh frame from my girlfriends dad's shed but it turned out to be too big for me. It's a Pulsar or a Neutron or a Quasar, something very eighties anyway and claims to have aerospace tubing (the seat tube is slightly oval) but is only made from Hi Tensile 18-23 steel. It has a fair bit of rust, particularly on the fork where some sort of lantern used to be attached and on the link between the chainstays. Sizes: 60cm C-T, 1" threaded, 115mm rear-spacing.
I'm going to chuck it but if anyone wants it for any reason, maybe for polo or just for a practice paint job, they're most welcome to pick it up from Hackney Central at the weekend. Let me know and cheers for the advice that I've picked up on the way.

These bastards would have killed you and eaten the body.

Apparently selling stuff in your first post at LFGSS is the fifth most popular way of committing suicide in the UK.

Welcome.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
