I actually just converted it to SS by modifying the chainrings (removing the 52t, and leaving the 40t) to keep the chainline straight. I wanted to put the 52t larger ring on the inside, but it was practically touching the chainstay. I didn't convert to fixed due to having the cotterpins still in the cranks. In short, I'm waiting on the latest shipment from BikesDirect to score a Kilo TT. I don't feel like the Record makes the best conversion. I think at the time it was one of Raleigh's most low-end road bikes with slack, touring geometry.
