Hello from Greece and sorry for my bad English . Im new one i have searched the forum but there is no detailed post about track end conversion . I have a old road bike that "says" mercier special tour de France . I want to convert the drop outs to track ends . Is that possible ? Is it worth it ? Thanks , if you think that the post must go to the garbage im ok with that .

It's possible. Lots do get frames converted but in my opinion it's a bit pointless. Usually costs around 80 pounds I think, from builders such as Super Ted.

is pointless for what reason ? because i can do my job without any conversion ?

Yep. And track ends don't make a track frame. Also ruins a nice road frame.

i think it may give you a great deal of pleasure when you will try to get back on the saddle after sliding off.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
