Ok, so I am very new to the Fixie/Singlespeed scene so stay with me.
I bought an old Raleigh of Ebay the other day with the idea of using it for my first Fixed Gear project.
I am trying to work out if it is a 531 frame or not. It looks like a 531 but has no stickers on it to say that it is. It has a "Controlled Carbon Cycle Tubing" sticker on it. I tried to find out more about the bike on the net but found nothing. I am guessing it was a entry level road bike.
Is it a Reynolds frame or a cheaper Raleigh copy? The Bike is called a Raleigh Racer.
Can the rear wheel be converted into a fixed gear?Any help or directions on what to upgrade first would be greatly appreciated.
Peeps Master.
