I have a Raleigh Pursuit frame I am converting. Do I remove the nobbly bits where the gears were once attached? And what about the screws where the bottle holder used to be? Just leave them? But what about the old 'foot through the frame' tricks?! I'd get me leg snagged!

What are you converting it to - a climbing frame?

Are you getting it resprayed? it is totally up to you whether you remove the knobbly bits or not. Leave the bottle cage bits though - you can hardly notice them!
I would suggest any top-tube cable guides are the first thing to get rid of.

That's the thing. I would have to respray if I removed them. The cable guides would go first. I'm worried that I couldn't remove the screws for the bottle holder as the rain would get inside the frame and rust the inside/BB, so they would need to be sealed if I was to remove them.

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:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
