This is my old roadie. It's nothing special, as you can see from the pics - early '90s Raleigh Technium Olympian aluminum frame, 7-speed downtube shifters, low-end Shimano drivetrain with BioPace rings, etc. It does have a couple of things going for it, though.

1. It fits me pretty well. (I'm 6'2 and it's a 62cm frame.)

2. It has horizontal dropouts (although the opening is facing forward).

Say I wanted to convert this to a fixie.

First, is it a decent candidate (considering that I already own it and that most of the parts are there and in working order)?

Second, what all would have to be replaced? Or, more specifically, what are the steps in the process?

What I'd be going for is a track bike look, but for the street. The cheaper, the better.

Thanks.

Steve
