You could always buy it, take it to bits and put it back together again if you want the education.

I was about to hit buy now until I saw 26" wheels damnit.

I was about to hit buy now until I saw 26" wheels damnit.

with 700c wheels the clearances will be quite nice given its built for 26 wheels, no?

sorry if i missed something.

Funky chain ^^^ Also no link

I'm new to fixed.. is a paddy wagon a decent frame to start with as i intend to strip down and rebuild???

it's a good bike for the money, go for it, but I highly recommended you to ride it as much as you can before resorting to spending money on rebuilding it.

I just bought the vin raleigh then logged into here and saw the message about not buying it due to it needing 26" wheels and now im thinking i should not have bought it,
will 700cc tyres be no good on this bike?
and then to rub salt in, saw the other bike in MCR for £100

700c wheels will fit depending on the clearance, thinking about it now I'm sure that frame would have decent clearance (for old big tyres and mudguards) and it will probably work.

its definately a 700c frame, just badly measured wheel size in the description.

it's not uncommon for seller to listed the wheel as 26" on the ebay description page due to lack of knowledge.

yes that true but with this guy (frame seller)I think he knows his stuff

probably it is the old 26" (as found on English 3 speeds) which is reasonably close in size to a 700c wheel and bigger than a modern 26" wheel.

Only if you use the same width of tyre. Generally vintage 26" tyres are 1 and a 1/4 where as with 700 tyres people often use tyres narrower than that so clearances will be reasonably big especially with the mudguards on this frame.

Do you reckon i could drill it for a front brake?

why would you need a front brake? the bar very low, you might as well use your forehead pressing against the tyre to slow down.

You don't need a brake as you would be riding so slow posing so don't need one.
