Hi. Who would've thought Bike porn could become so popular? Hehe I can't miss a day. Thanks for putting the time in to fill everyone's insatialable appetite for it... (Paypal donation should be in motion)
Here's my 1975 Raleigh Twenty; Picked it up in lime green metallic stock condition about a year ago after seeing a few including Cheg and Sheldon's.
Spent a while picking up parts to turn it into my daily commuter with a 7 speed SRAM hub; I've just taken the plunge to go fixed after a while of humming and ha-ing. The idea is I can easy switch back to my 7-speed with a quick change of the whole wheel and chain. Hence the strnage position of the switch-box, detached rear brakes and preponderance of cables. Here's to flexibility! (even if it doesn't look as slick as it might totally stripped).
Running 54t -> 14t (72.1 inches) on 406 bmx wheels with Slick Continental Grand Prix it can't half go fast. Good job the brakes are good haha... Hi to all the other Fixed Twenties! Nice one I'll shut up now Huw
