Here's my first attempt of building up a SS/Fixie
Let me know what you think

Before

After

nice job, put it in current projects

Nice work

Any one else used to have one of those rear lights fixed under their seat with a toe clip strap back in the day?

Cool fixie!

What method did you use to remove the braze-ons?

nice, usually most people fuck up on there first conversion and take a nice old geared and kill it, but you have taken a fugly raleigh and done a pretty good job! ride it with pride

Jobs a good 'un!

Good one. I love when people keep the original cranks

'custom`

Thanks for all the comments guys I'm pretty happy with it for my first conversion/build.

Parabellum
To remove the braze-ons i ground the tops off with a small angle grinder, leaving a small amount of them still on the frame so that i didnt go to close to the frame and damage it. With what was left of them i then filed off by hand.

looks toight!

Looks shite

Puppy killed! The original bike was very space invaders.

How the hell did any of us make it home alive with those lights?

it was very pacman

somewhat teenwolf

fucking hell, someone made a bicycle.

its a nice bicycle.

its very pineapple wrapped in ham on a toothpick.

its very cabana

it does look cack. why so much trouble, to look like that?

How much did it cost you overall in time and mhoney?
