my raleigh conversion

i'm new.

Did that used to have drops on it?
If so I think I have seen it about :)

yeah it had drops with grotty yellow grips on it a while back, and was also a raw frame with clearcoat job, finally the rust got through so ended up spraying it again.

thats nice man, ill look out for it.

frame might be for sale soon, just sourcing an original raleigh badge and 531 stickers for it, cant decide whether to keep this and sell this or vice versa?

depends which you prefer to ride! undoubtedly the charge is more solid.

my first fixed "project", nothing exciting!
claud butler 531 road conversion bought pretty much ready to go.
just put some new pedals and straps on.
other plans are to replace the wheels to something more suitable as soon as i have the funds.(any ideas?)
may change the drops or possibly just some put on some charge U-Bend Bar Tape.
also need to sort out the slackness of the chain. anyway:

good evening alex

Took my first build out for it's maiden rinsing on friday night, and it blew me away. Not had that much fun on a bike for a long time!! And sooooo quiet!! Pics to follow soon.

Unfortunately I don't have room for a really classy looking fixed - although I'll make it if the right vintage frame comes up that's about 58cm ST and 54cm TT! So here's the everyday bike for commuting, pub duty, mucky winter rides and other miscellany:

solid looking ride.

Here's mine.
I'll buy y'a pint if you can identify the frame. It's about 50yrs old, british, original paintwork (clinging on for dear life). The narrow blue/red/white sticker is my addition BTW.
Holler if you see me around.

Lordy, that's a nice frame. Needs drops though ;-)

nice

what are the rims/hubs?

Velocity rims.

See you all at The Cube tomorrow!

I agree G-bitch, I've got some unfeasibly narrow 50's style drops that came with the frame. I'll be switching back soon (as well as finally getting rid of the stubborn deep-v stickers).

See you at the cube.

hello hello, this is my bicycle. I need to get rid of the back brake though, still haven't got round to doing it.

hope you like it fellas.
