Carrea TDF

Posted on
  • I've got a geared carrea tdf it's a few years old aluminum bike. Dented the back rim and the gears are a little so-so. So I'm faced with the options:
    do I get a new back wheel rebuild and a tune up
    Or
    do I simply get a back wheel from Varno, a new chainring and strip the gears and brakes off it, fit a front brake to the drops and make this a fixie?
    I think they would prob end up costing the roughly the same.
    I own a beater fixie http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3323461.htm
    but I could prob shift this for £100 notes to fund the project.
    Would this be worthy bike to convert to a fixie or would it be marginally better than my beater?

  • The TDF was hideous bike.

    But then so is that Argos piece of shit.

    I suggest you sell both and buy something halfway decent.

  • Sell both of those, for whatever you can get (I think £100 is optimistic for that, tbh).

    Then trawl the classifieds thread, pick up some bargains, ask for advice, and bobs your uncle.

    Alternatively, gtfo you funtwucking cuntflap of a troll?
