So, a pretty awesome school mate of mine is having some bike angst and I've offered to help her out. I quoted her for a tonne of new parts from the shop, then discovered that there is more wrong with her bike than I had originally thought. I feel for her and just want to make sure she's commuting safely as she's been having a rather rough time.
So, her rear wheel is knackered, it's a 700c and she would be fine with either a single speed wheel or a road wheel.
A crank set that isn't completely rinsed (SS compatable, IE you can get it down to a single chainring), as she'll need a new BB it doesn't matter what taper it is.
And the big one is that it might end up that she'll eventually need a new frame. I'm open to ideas, and she has a little bit of money to work with. I think a 53 would fit her.
Thanks in advance, anything would be helpful
