  I'm looking to buy new(newer) wheels than the ones that where on the bike but we did fit the original wheel with a 7 speed and it fitted with a bit of persuasion (not enough to make any difference to the stays) but never the less it fitted...

  I just briefly read up on sheldon browns website regarding freewheel and freehub and technically speaking could I disregard the cassette I have now find a decent set of wheels and then just buy a new freewheel/cassette depending on what that wheel takes?

  also any advice on wheel brands to steer clear of and ones to bare in mind? I'm looking to spend less than £100 for a pair as I want to make this re-build as cheap as possible to get me back out riding sooner (I know its not much to spend on wheels and yes I know it's worth the wait for better quality but still...)

  thanks for your replies guys much appreciated

  I ride fixed but I'm currently working on re-building an old raleigh road racer it is going to be geared (yes i know fixed and single speed forum stupid place to ask)
  I'm looking into buying some 700c wheels i lined up my fixies wheels with the raleigh frame I have and they fitted perfect

  the question is will a 7 speed cassette fit on a 700c wheel? I have a cassette but don't want to buy a set of wheels and find out they are no good for gears... (I'm a bit of a novice but trying... so don't rip into me too hard with the sarcasm :D hahaha a useful reply would be hugely appreciated)

  Thanks, Ben

  Cheers mobidog... and Pifko apologies if your club is too exclusive to be in Im more than happy to ride fixed on my own hahaha... I can ride fixed I just in all honesty know fuck all about builds and all the help I can get to not have my pants pulled down on prices and parts is a bonus... So if anyone else has any more input on the bike I have at current I would appreciate your help...

  also this isnt a frame I have solely for a fixie purpose hence asking if it would be sellable as I have access to other frames.

  cheers

  Hello all sorry to post in the wrong thread But i cannot make my own until I have passed the introductory period?

  I recently became the owner of a Old three speed Triumph Traffic Master (think these were made by raleigh... and they were made in Nottingham)

  It is In pretty good nick for an old bike But I cannot find much info on it online Is there anybody on here that could give me any background on this bike, wether it would be worth selling in it's original state or if It would be a good frame for a fixie build.

  Thanks Ben.
