  A fair point. I don't think he'll be using it for fitness. A cog between 42-52 would have been preferable but think i'll stick a 16t on the rear with the 42. Think that works out about 70".

  I ride 48x17 on fixed. No hills where I am. Use my geared bike for longer rides...

  Currently creating a cheap pub beater for my brother for xmas. I'm not changing the crank so im stuck with either a 42 or a 52. Not sure of the best combo for him. Its flat near him too, although he may use it to commute.

  Im thinking either 42x15 (75.6) or 52x19 (73.9).

  can anyone see any issues??? Still havent decided.

• Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

  A friend made that suggestion too. Seems more likely now. Thanks for response.

  Does anyone recognise anything about this frame/bike? Ignore the "HP" sticker that is crudely replacing a badge. It came with 27" French Wheels (Maillard), Suntour mechs and shifters, and the bars are 'World Custom' Japan.

  It seems to be a fairly cheap bike from the 70's to me. No Tubing stickers of any sort. Only a BB number '2236' on the underside of frame. Lugs look nice so I might strip it and give it a lease of life.
