New build, this was an old roomate's '79 Raleigh Super Record. It was in very rough shape when I got it. It had just its rear brake with a pair of extremely beat up steel 5 speed 27" wheels....

Hey guys,
So I'm in the process of building up an old ten speed Raleigh frame as a light touring bike. I built a bike just like this once before, but it was stolen. The problem with the previous...
I recently converted a late 70's to early 80's road frame built for 27"s to 700c. I used a 700c 6 speed wheelset. I had to spread the dropouts to fit the wheel. I also had to lock out the top gear on...
I have no issues, I have used several different axle mounted hitches on bikes with track ends. I have never had issues, i used a chain tug to get the chain tension right, but that won't be an issue...
New winter beater, unknown 70's-80's frame, just gotta slap some fenders on her and she'll be good....
This might make some posters here scoff, this is an unknown frame, it originally had cottered cranks, it'll be a fun winter beater. I built it up with a bunch of salvaged and laying around parts. She...

I run SPD's and love em. I've had several friend break numerous pairs of eggbeaters, one of which was a ***** to remove from the crank. I've heard good things about Times, and want to try a pair.
Had to move my drums to play a show. I usually haul things on the trailer with an older hacked track frame featuring a low gear ratio, wide tires, and a touring fork, but it was on loan, so my ss...
Moving my drums via bike trailer. My Beataround offroad townie usually does the honors, as it has a much lower gear ratio, but it was on loan to a friend. 46x16, its a good thing I only went a few...

From the sound of it he's talking about a road frame conversion, ala forward facing dropouts, so changing a tire wont be an issue, but to many skids+bolts not being cranked down and your wheel will...

K I figured it out.
I bought the frame. Got a handful of parts for the build. Turns out my suspicions were correct. She's an old Hybrid with a new lease on life. She was painted by a reputable...
What kind of frame? Pics?
