The 'Let's Trade' discussion

ajf Hi,

Hoping you can help me finish my first conversion. Based in Leeds
Trying to build up a nice heavy commuter bike / training bike (fixies have a following in mountain and fell runners would you believe!)
I need the following parts

Fixed back wheel ideally fixed/fixed hub and either 27" or 700c wheels Pref front and back but not essential
BMX style brake lever/levers (I may have two brakes to start with)
Possibly a crank with arms and a 44 or 42t ring

I have the following (in Leeds)

An early 80's Peugeot PKN10 frame and forks in silver and crome. Good condition. 531 tubing no dints. Perfect for a conversion but just a bit too small for me
weimann wheels and mailard high flange hubs (standard hubs)
ATA original drop bars and quill
Possibly a stronglight crank? Unless fits on my other project? Don't have a crank remover tool so not 100% sure

Similar to the following

If interested happy to get some piccies up and possibly post if needed but prefer if nearby.

Does it look like this:

It seems that crank pullers for old stronglight cranks are hard to get a hold of. If you take it to a bike shop they may tell you they'll have to angle grind them to get them off. It's a shame!

(By the way i got this sorted with BLB now)
