Hi all,
Bought myself a Holdsworth Mistrel to turn into a fixie and I have come accross a few problems. So I am asking for a little advice as its not as simple as I first thought.
First of all what tools do I need to source? I have a fairly comprehensive kit which is ideal for my GT. But technology it would appear has moved on and I cant remove, for example the chainset.
Rear wheel... Can I convert it to a flip flop or should I simply buy a new rear wheel and chain set etc?
I want to keep it as oringinal looking as possible as it is pretty immaculate but I also want that minimalist fixie look.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks.
