I decided to build up a budget single speed for my girlfriend and bought an old Raleigh MTB frame because it was new but cheap. I didn't think far enough ahead to consider how I don't have any spares at all that would fit an MTB frame and would therefore have to buy EVERYTHING!
I'm thinking about cutting my losses and starting again with a road frame before I have to get involved in things like USA BBs, 3 piece cranks, etc that I neither understand nor can afford!!
Does anyone have anything perhaps somewhere between 50cm to 53cm that they want to get rid of? It is going to be budget though so I'm thinking the further away from £80 the better. Cosmetic condition isn't a huge issue, I don't mind stripping something down and painting it back up. It's more a case of the price being right.
Let me know
