In the meantime we've adapted a crankset of mysterious provenience using single speed space bolts:

Cheap too! It would appear that if you buy a specific singlespeed crankset brand new it can get expensive!

Quick update; the Bicycle Doctor bent the frame about so we can fit metric wheels in, he also fitted brakes and machined some fixings to make them work. He also fitted a BB that was the correct size!

Does the back wheel have freewheel or free hub? If it's a freewheel how did you sort chain line?

It has a freehub, my first singlespeed had a freewheel and I had to get the bike doctor to redish the wheel.

Ah OK

So here's the final build stage, the chap in the photos is @dktd who is the proud owner of this bike:

Gawd lummy we had to fight to get the pedal off the donor bike, as those watching on FettleCam witnessed.

Sam fitting a whole stack of freehub spacers which originally came from @fossyant (I'm paying it forward!)

Hmm, the chainline looks a lot straighter in real life!

The essential initial chain @mickle

What a handsome beast. Bike looks good too.

And he's off for adventures. Well actually he went off and pringled the rear wheel the next day...
