• 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

  • too be honest, if the parts came off an old raleigh, i wouldn't bother listing them. they're probably shit.

  • ha!

    No, I agree with you. I just couldn't resist the opportunity to tease Hippy... ;-)

  • I'll cry myself to sleep at night with jibes like that..

    michael-houstoun: I have a full-carbon ITM fork, 1", 22cm steerer available, £40

  • thanks hippy, il have to check the lengths, but i also have my eyes on a cheaper one on ebay, and currently i am far more interested in getting atleast a fixed rear wheel preferably a front one aswell... just to get this project of the ground and get me riding fixed untill i have my hands on a bit more money. cheers

  • I have some On One wheels you can have for £30 collected. They are double fixed.

    The rear has just pinged a spoke otherwise good condition.

  • @slimtim,
    I can be interested in the wheelset. What wheels set it is? the price is for the front and rear?, How is the condition on the threads of the hub?
