Hello. I thought it was about time I made a proper post since I've been reading this forum for a while! I wanted a Raleigh Lizard as I used to have one as a kid and found this on eBay for £18!
I've added mud guards and dyno hub since I'm using it in Germany for a year. Anyway, I decided to convert it to a single since everything was pretty knackered. The crank was an oval shape so I replaced the chainring with a 50 which I got off eBay for £10! I've replaced the rear wheel with one I got off eBay as part of a pair for £30. When I get it back to England my plan is to replace the bottom bracket so I can remove the chainring spacers. I have no tools here but my neighbours have been good at lending me stuff! Anyway feel free to take the piss!
