Bloody hell cant type meant to say:

This is the mercian that was offered to me for now under £100 would it be good for a conversion, worried about massive space between wheel and forks, can i get bigger wheels?

it's a 27" wheel frame with 700c bunged in?

yeah, looks like it.

should i take it?

i'd buy that for under £100 then just get some of these:

edit, for some reason that link wont hyperlink just copy and paste the whole thing.

ras should i take it?

it's an old bike, the spacing and BB height will be (adversely) affected by using 700c.

I personally wouldn't choose it for a road fixed.

tell your mate that I'll buy it if you don't

Take it or we'll all kill you.

Have to now bike just got nicked

Anyone have any idea how much this will cost to turn into a fixed with the right size wheels

about 50 dorrar?

it all depends on what kind of parts you want......

Just good solid parts nothing flashy but as cheap as poss while maintaining quality (dont want to live up to the saying of by shite by twice)

better get on SJS cycles site and start pricing yourself up some wheels then

good idea
