Thought I would try to get some advice for converting my mid 80's Guerciotti to a SS. It was built up full campy, with 170mm cranks (53,42t). 32 hole sew up rims with low flange record hubs (6sp freewheel). I want to convert it using the smallest amount of dough. Do I need to buy a new rear hub or can I thread on a bmx freewheel? What are my options for going to a fixed gear? Can I use my BB or do I need to purchase a shorter one? Any help/guidance offered will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and may the wind stay at your back!
