Hello hello,
I've been thinking about putting together a fixed off-road setup, not for anything too hardcore but just to skid about through the muddy trails up in Hertforshire.
Being stingy and poor I want to spend as little money as possible, so a conversion of some sort is probably going to be the way forward. A shitty mountain bike with magic gear is one option - which would give me the best clearance for cross-tyres, mudguards etc. But I was also reading some stuff on 63xc.com suggesting an old racer could also do the job (?!)
Which would you go for? Anyone riding anything similar?
Cheers
