I have a huge dilema.......or at least what i consider a huge dilema.
I am currently in the market for a fixed gear bike. But the dilema lies in whther i should convert my current bike or buy a complete (ie-pist, iro, khs etc). The problem is i am on a huge budget. Some bike stores around SF have told me that it would end up running me about the same to convert my bike well as it would to just buy a pista. If i did convert what parts would it make sense to replace etc.?
if i were to buy a new rear wheel like a velocity does it make a difference that i currently have 27in wheels and the velocity is 700? also ( sorry about the overload of questions) when it comes to buying new cranks, bottom bracket etc......how do i tell what size shell and length spindle i currently have or would need to purchase? my bike is from what i am guessing is from the 80s and has horizontal rear dropouts etc. sorry again about all of the questions....
