I'm going to see a potential new bike tomorrow, I'm dipping my toe into fixed (cos it looks a lot of fun!) and dont want to spend 400+ on a new bike, and don't quite have the confidence or know-how to convert my own.
Anyway the spec of the bike is below, he wants £160 for it - what do you think?
Reynolds 501 frame (1980s Raleigh) resprayed in grey with black cro-moly forks.
Campagnolo crank set - 42 chain ring
Wolber profile rims laced to Campagnolo hubs with 16t fixed sprocket secured with BB lock ring.
Vittorio Rally tubular tyres (not clinchers)
Selle Italia Gel Titanium railed saddle. SR laprade seat post.
Dia Compe Aero lever (dummy on left)
Alloy bars and stem
Alongha Deep drop front brake.
1/8th pitch chain.
It sounds like a good price to me, but I could be talking absolute tosh, any opinions gratefully received.
