London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of predominantly fixed gear and single-speed cyclists in and around London, UK.
This site is supported almost exclusively by donations. Please consider donating a small amount regularly.
I've got pretty much everything one would need to put together a bike, but it's been sitting around for about 2 years, so someone else should put it together and ride it or sell it.
Frame: Raleigh Topaz step-through frameset. 22" centre to top. With seatpost, saddle, stem, bars, brake levers, front brake, stem mounted rear shift lever.
Wheels: Steel Raleigh 700c rims on Maillard hubs with a 5 cog freewheel. I've got a pair of used (but perfectly usable) 25mm marathons that can go on them. Or a pair of 28mm Kenda ones.
Cranks: Silstar SR cranks, 165mm long, 52/41 chainrings. The drive side pedals threads are crossthreaded, so you'd need an insert (or could try tapping them). I also have some other cheapo double cranks, 170mm I think. I've got various BSA BB cups and various length BB axles, so something should work.
Shifting: I've got a Sachs 5 speed derailleur.
Other bits: I've got a couple of Weimann rear brakes that would work. Also brand new Fibrax brake pads with leather inserts that should reduce squeeling on the steel rims.
All of the above (and anything from my parts bin that would be needed) for the price of the brake pads £10
Pick up in SW13 next to Hammesmith Bridge.
