Really sliming down on the bike collection now!
Dawes realmrider from about 1955, converted to singlespeed and a few moden touches.
frame is a 56cm tho if feels quite small to me (i'm 5 10") I've changed the wheels to 700cc araya jobies as the old 27" ones were looking a bit tired.
Alloy micro adjust seatpost as the old ole slipped and i've replased all the bolts i can to metric.
The paint is in no way perfect but thats sort of what I like about it and It put a few fat men on carbon tt bikes to shame at the local 10mile.
Set up with a freewheel at the moment but with only one brake as it was fixed but i'll include the rear caliper.
I've got some neat little chrome mudgaurds that we come with it and also the bits needed to return it to gears if anyone wants them.
Also the cranks. 170 length all threads are fine
Let me know if you want any more photos or info
thank you
