hi,
i've got an old raleigh record class bike that someone gave me for free, and I'd really like to convert it to a single speed (not fixed) to use for riding across town to the pub.
i'd like to spray the frame and do it up so it simle and nice, but i've no idea how much it will cost for all the parts, so i dont know if its gonna be worth doing?
i'm not good at building bikes but someone is willing to help me, so i (hopefully) wont have to pay for any labour.
could someone please give me a rough idea of how much everything else would cost if i only have a frame and forks to start with? i spose i would just use low end shimano stuff.
any advice would be helpful,
thanks.
