Hi Guys.
I purchased a cheap £150 Mongoose Maurice with drop bars a couple of months a go and really loving it. The bike has taken over winter duties from a much more expensive carbon bike and I can't tell the difference. Loving the single speed!
Any way, the reason for the post is because I want to build up a much nicer and expensive single speed for the summer.
The question is; what are my options?
Track frame is the obvious but can you get nice single speed wheels to fit? I've seen some mavice ellipse but these only seem to be for fixed and not single speed. Can I stick a freewheel on em?
The other option is an old steel road frame for semi horizontal drops, something like reynolds 753. Question is; can I get nice wheels to fit the 126mm rear spacing of an old bike?
Thanks!
