• I am looking at buying a Milk Race on Friday seems abit of a bargin at £25 just looking for some adviceon converting if anyone can help. First atempt at a fixed gear so all help would be greatly appriciated.

  • Hard to go wrong for £25!

    Check Sheldon Brown, he covers the problems you'll encounter and his cribsheets are useful references.

    The actual building of a bike is pretty straightforward, what will catch you out are the different standards & sizes of parts and their compatibility.

    Search the Current Projects sub-forum for terms such as "conversion" or "first" etc: you'll find plenty of threads that cover what you're doing.

    You can also start your own thread to document the build and ask specific questions.
