It's pretty flat where I intend riding apart from the hill back up to my house so sounds good

Cheers noisier :)

What ratio would you guys recommend for a slightly flabby, unfit 46yr old. Converting a Raleigh Scorpio on a really tight budget to SS, so using the existing inside ring of 42 what would you recommend for the back?? Would 16 be ok?!

Cheers, thank you

hms sorry to drop in / hijack your thread but do you know what size seatpost the Scorpio is as just picked one up to convert??

Good luck with the sale

Like it, hope mine turns out as well, but will be on an even tighter budget (Raleigh Scorpio)

Going to try the risla / post it trick as the bike I picked up for my first SS build, a Raleigh Scorpio must be the most unpopular bike ever, never in any databases.

At least the seatpost isn't stuck though, read horror stories about that

You know I didn't even look to se if these were friction or not. Let me take a closer look and I'll report back.

Had a dig around in the bits boxes and found another stem and a crappy old steel drop bar which I've flopped and chopped. Ride around the block seems comfortable. I'll try them on the hills on Monday. I wonder how much I'll miss the drops on those windy mornings.

Cool looking bike, like the chopped bars, looking to do the same on my Raleigh conversion

Been lurking for a while but finally signed up. Not been on a bike for a few years but just picked up an old racer off ebay to convert to SS.

Based in the Midlands but work / stay in London in the week
