Hi all,
I'm new here on the forum. I bought this not long ago to use as a cheap daily ride in London
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peugeot-Reynolds-Optimum-531-Handbrazed-Racing-Bike-/320980415777?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&nma=true&si=h0h8u%2F0lELWiQgdZeUFIX1OF9Ww%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
It serves that purpose very well, but I've come to the realisation that I'd like to try and go fixed as my daily ride, and with its vertical dropouts this guy isn't ideal for a conversion. Is anyone on here up for a swapsies with a bike of similar value and size (actually a tiny bit bigger would be ideal, eg. 52), which has been converted or is better suited to conversion?
Since buying the bike I've upgraded the pedals and put my brooks saddle on, and there's a chance they could be thrown into the right swap...
