It freewheel a just fine. I love in irelad and there isn't many decent vintage road bikes for sale here and the ones that are for sale either arnt very good like mine. Or are way too expensive. And shipping from England or the ya would be way to expensive. That's why I wanted to just change it out. The BB has a small amount of wiggle so it would need to be regreased and or new bearings. It comes with a splined spindle to allow the selecta crank wich looks horrible and I would really like to change it out for a nicer track set. I do plan on keeping the bike for commuting and the odd weekend cycle. As the new wheels have sealed bearings I woul like to go that way with the BB if anyone knows if there are any out there. I still am not home so it will be tomorrow night before I get a photo of the BB size up.

I also already have a 16t fixed gear cog on the hub so I could use that if it would be better for the time being until I replace the BB

It's a raleigh made in 1980 in gazelle jut for info here's some pics taken on the iphone sorry for lighting best I could do at this time.
