Sorry. I thought I was posting a new thread in "Classic & Vintage", but it's a reply here instead. I guess it's okay if I decide to use an internally geared hub
As part of a package deal, I picked up what I think is a 1974 Raleigh Grand Prix. I have a couple of projects underway that will make use of some of the parts from this bike (hubs, handlebars, stem and possibly derailleurs and shifters). I'll be left with a decidedly utilitarian, but still very pretty frame as well as some other parts. I'm trying to decide what to do with the frame. The thoughts of building either another single speed (I have a 1970 Raleigh Record that I converted to a single speed) or of getting an internally geared hub and building a drop bar three or five speed have occurred to me, but I'm really undecided. I got the bike for very little as a throw-in on two Raleigh Sports that I really wanted, but I don't want to pass up the opportunity for a fun build.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with this frame?
Thanks
