Fixed Gear/Single speed conversions now avaliable.

I have just completed my 1st fixed gear conversion. Starting with a 1970 Raleigh Grand Prix that had been repainted I removed all brais on's , striped the old paint and had it painted at an auto paint shop. I then hand painted the head lugs peweter. Then added a set of mavic formula track wheels with highflang hubs and glue on tires. 65MM fixie crank with short reach track pedals to reduce chance of pedal strike. Pauls components Racer brake up front with the small Pauls brake lever. Brooks saddle and Velo Orange sew on elkhide bar wrap.

A Crusier for me

Started with a MaCaw Mango 6, swaped out the Shimano Tourney derailleur for a Shimano STX, junked the twist grip shifter and replaced it with a simple econo thumb shifter, added Schwelbe Fat Frank in place of the origional white walls, upgraded the saddle and added cork grips. Not another one like it in towne.

650 B conversion completed Before & After


The conversion consisted of 650B wheels with Synergy Velocity rims, Rivendale Fatty Rumpkin tires and phill wood hubs. I also added a Nitto Techtonic high rise stem and Nitto Albatross handlebars for a more upright seating position. Sugino cranks, Tange bottom bracket, Shimano Ultegra rear derailleur & Dura Ace front derailleur. Shimano mountian bike brake levers & Deore Light action shifters. Trektro long reach sidepull brake calipers w/drop link (see previous post) Selle Royal super comfy sprung saddle and Brooks Leather grips complete the package.
