So I bought a Raleigh Banana frame off eBay about 4 years ago. I built it up myself (poorly as you can see by the seat post). This was my first fixed gear bike so I've kinda become attached to it so the plan is to turn it into a nice commuting bike for the winter months coming.

Over time, I got rid of some of the parts so now it's just a frame with crankset and seat and a collision caused the forks to bend.
So the plan is to:
-Straighten the forks or failing that get some others
-Get some wheels with some wider tyres (Probably Marathon Pluses 28s)
-Attempt to get the pedals off to put on some SPDs
-Put on drop bars with two brakes
-Mudguard and rack it up
