Hey guys.
i am converting my dads old raleigh into a fixie in the coming weeks, but i am broke, i just got back from 5 weeks skiing in canada and any money i have earnt and earnt there got spent and now im back at school and unable to find a local weekend job
( fairly remote location with out a car) so i am looking at least for a rear wheel hopefully a pair and preferaby with a flip flop hub,and cogs. i dont care what it is aslong as it gets me fixed, i have a small budget and am prepared to spend most of it on a pair of wheels if i have to but that will delay my build time,
other items i am also looking for are,
carbon forks, 700cc 1' steerer,
tt brake lever
i will list anything on here that comes of the bike that i think will be appreciated especially by he retro guys
also any ideas for a colour scheeme? i have access to painting facilitys and the frame looks as if is in need of a good tidy up, i thinking green and red detailing
cheers mike
