Upon deciding that I don't want to take my treasured rod brake triumph to uni with me, I'm gonna build a fixie (fixed gear whatever you prefer).
I've started with a Raleigh Clubman Frame I picked up for £30.
Obviously it wasn't in the greatest of nick but with a bit of a scrub down of some surface rust and a respray, it'll be looking pretty decent.
I've also got an old cream Bernard Hinault turbo saddle, DMR V8 peddles (what would i need to respray these suitably as they are blue atm?), and recently a pair of Suzie Pro Max Hubs laced to Fir SRG 30 rims.
This said, I don't fancy having the tubular rims so these I'll replace.
I don't have an endless supply of money and the bike isn't going towards being the prettiest thing ever. It will be functional and set to a budget... ish. ;-)
