Just become a fully fledged member, so first of all hello!
I've just got my hands on a 1960's Viking Allrounder (54cm) so it's small but feels nice and light...I'm only 5'9" and got short legs as well so should fit nicely!
I want to strip it, get it powder coated and then convert it to a single speed lightweight commuter.
Questions:
1) I need new 27" wheels, suggestions?
2) Can I re-use the BB and Crank, Chainset or does it need replacing?
3) I'd like to put the decal badge back on after the power coat but what's the best way to get it off and then back on?
4) Where other than the classifieds would you recommend I get parts from, I def need to get an extended stem, bull bars etc
Look forward to your feedback!
