  @vilms5000 Have you had any issues with the drive side dropout/chain tension? (if you have built it up)

  I'm not necessarily looking to completely restore it, just building it up as a budget/city commute but want to keep it looking relatively reasonable

  Also - I completely agree with the bars and have recently picked up a set of drops :)

  @tallsam It's a Raleigh Quasar (Reynolds 501) early 80's I believe. unfortunately I don't have the original wheels, however I have put a 700c in to take a look and this lines up perfectly with the original front brake. The pads are adjusted very low though so it may have been 27 1/4 originally - I am still trying to find the spec somewhere.

  I can see the dropout being an issue but the frame was free so I'm hoping I can sort it.

  If anyone has any suggestions on a low budge wheelset £100-150 ish? I will probably run 700c as I'm not too fussed with a brake.

  Currently building a Raleigh frame up (Fixie) on a budget. Any opinions on what wheels to go with?
