Bikes: Tease Fixed Gear, Schwinn World Traveler 72, 60's Hawthorne

That's totally a Raleigh Grand Prix +1 ... me thinks? I've seen those bikes turn into nice fixed gears! They look sweet. Just picked up a similar frame myself. Some Raleigh Bikes used 26 TPI (threads per inch, standard is 24 TPI...these guys basically invented bikes in england so long back ago) instead of 24 TPI, so you'll need to order parts accordingly, but you'll find them. Just go to the LBS and ask them to source the parts for you, that way you can take them back when they don't fit. Bikesisland.com sells fixed gear wheelset for 120.00 shipped with tires and tubes!
