half and half, ive got a good raleigh racer, but no back wheel at all and only an odd sized buckled front with no tyres, also twin ring cranks and no bars.
ive been mooching for parts and even doing it cheap is almost the price of a unipack, plus my mates seen the creates and fancys one for his 3 mile a day commute to work n back n reckons if we got 2 wed be able to get a bit more cash off them
im just in the position where i need something built and ready to go n drop some weight after being laid up from a massive bike smash for the last few years, plus it means i can swop wheels between bikes when i fancy some low gearing and im only left to grab a set of bars
he just wants new and built and cheap, plus im thinking if i can learn it all on a bike im not too arsed about, when i get a better one ( mongoose, fuji track or pista kinda money) ill be less likely to bugger something
im just trying to find out as much info as poss before hand, if i get one could do a rolling report on here, ive seen so much conflicting advice tho, some say gash and to be fair the first lot where from the pics ive seen, others say sound, and a few of you guys say ok if you rebuild it before use
has no one on here got one of the recent ones like cycling + tested ?
comments would help, if its going to be a waste if cash n just collapse id rather know now than after we get a pair
