Hi
I am back to cycling after about 30 years of not... I am 58 and survived cancer but ballooned in weight so decided to cycle to get fit. I live in Cornwall and with those hills decided I needed a hand so fitted an electric wheel to a bike and thoroughly enjoyed that. Sold the bike to someone who wanted it and converted an old Raleigh for my wife to ride. In the meantime I picked up a couple of Raleigh's, one which I am happy to pass on to anyone who wants it, the other is a Royal. I like the look of the bike and want to upgrade it. For instance I am changing the handle bars as I don't like drop bars and will fit some sit up and beg bars. Will I need to change the head stock for this. I am going to fit an electric wheel to the rear but will transfer the rear gears over but want to get rid of the front gears for a single hub, is this possible? Also when I change the bars I will need to change the break levers and gear changers, any ideas as to what I should get please?
Final questions, is it possible to fit front forks with suspension and disk brakes please?
Thanks
Rich
