Hi, I have an old 'record sprint' that i'm kinda fond of?! and am in the process of stripping her down for a paint job and rebuild as a fixie. Am i mad ? considering the low cost of production fixed bikes i.e fuji, lemond etc , they don't seem to have the character or the handling for that matter, that the old Raleigh does, but i can see my costs escalating already. What d'you reakon?
