Hi, not long been on the forum but I've been riding fixed for a while. I'm in the middle of converting my old man's Raleigh Corsa. I've got some parts: Rear wheel, sprocket and chain. Now I need to address the crankset. I was thinking of taking it over to Kiwi cycles to get a cartridge BB and see if I can use the existing cranks. Or maybe Brick Lane. Just wondering if people had any suggestions. I'd like to do it myself but that means buying all the tools and I have no space in my tiny flat.

It's that big green place with deer in. ;)

Sorry, just been an idiot and didn't see your last post Cornelius. Meant I'm in for west side gatherings.
This Thursday I'm not sure. My leg's still stiff as a board from Dunwich. :(

Acton VALE (the nice bit, honest), I'm in.

Sounds interesting, not sure about the stretch along the M3 and M25 though. Are you still talking ss?

Hi guys, Matt here. just hobbled in to work. Feel absolutely shagged but glad I did it (just).
Good to meet you lot too. I'll be on the bridges if my bum has recovered (picture to follow)!

The cranks are shimanos, 2 chainrings. They're 170mm but they don't have any other numbers or names on them.
The rear hub is just an ambrosia double fixed, 120mm. I'm just slightly worried about getting the correct chainline really.
