Hi everyone,

I need some info.
I'm looking for an old road bike (on craigslist) to convert it into a FG since few months now.
BUT I can't decide myself what should I buy.

Yesterday I went see a Nishiki but the frame was 'ugly' and no horizontal dropout. I think it was some kind of triathlon bike, I really dont know.
For the moment, I have the choice between a schwinn traveler or a trek.

anyway, I need to know what kind of things I need to look at before buying one. (size, dropouts,..)
and what kind of things I will need to buy to build one.(hub, wheels, crank,..)

Or is it more simple to buy a Mercier Kilo TT at my local bike shop.

I would prefer to buy an old one and spend few hours/dollars on it.

what do you guys think?

(Sorry for my english, it's not my first language )
