hi guys this is my first post in this section of the forum so forgive my ignorance. ive picked up an old road frame which has the potential to make quite a nice fixed conversion and i was wondering how easy it was to remove cable guides on the top tube/down tube that would have been used for brake and gear cables and also the mount which would have been used for the front mech.
is it possible to cut/file them off to make the frame look a bit tidier? i was also wondering about the spacing for the rear hub. as far as i know road frames are 130mm rear spacing. is it possible to change hub axles to fit a formula hub into the frame.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks

its a tempting frame but i think il hold out for something similar that i can pick upin london to get a slightly better price

nice offer koai, have you got a photo?

oh, north wales. guess postage is essential then

are you based in london?

bump

im after a frame to build up a slightly larger bike to what im riding at the moment. preferably with track dropouts and im not too bothered about the condition of the frame so long as its cosmetic. cheers

if anybody is interested, im based in brixton, but can meet in the evenings.

i contemplated it, did that with my steel forks, but the race crown base is set in further than the bottom of the steerer tube (if that makes any sense) and theres not a whole lot of purchase for a screw driver to knock it out. im sure it could be done but i didnt wanna start damaging the fork as i wanted to sell

i took it to brixton cycles and they assured me it would come off with their tool.

just buy em ok

dibs on lights also!

second dibs on the Fahgettaboudit lock if jono doesnt take.

i bought these forks on the forum a couple weeks ago but the geometry didnt really work out for my fuji track.

ive trimmed the steerer tube slightly, its now 200mm. their in really good condition with just a couple marks. Theres a race crown fitted which you'll have to remove.

im asking £50, what i paid. they retail for £100 at BLB and they rate them.

PRICE DROP £40

im not organising . only been on this site for a few days and im a bit of a novice with anything LFGSS related unless its actually riding my fixed gear in london. but if someones game then please pm me

i may just be out riding his fixed gear or single speed bike in london....

im after a matt finish for my forks, but i thought if it was just the colour that had a minimum price then maybe they could do everything in black then gloss coat other bits independently?
