To be honest there isn’t much handling wise between the pair.

Yes, the frame was refinished to match the fork - originally it was black like yours.

Love the idea of a Pinion conversion

How far off are you from starting that?

I've had a guy offering to lend me the jig and ordered the couplers. But the couplers were lost in transit. So not much progress. The frame is still in one piece.

The frame has been modified. But not to the extent I would have wished. The chainstays are too far apart to accept the Pinion bridge.
It still might be possible to adapt the bridge to contact the chainstays but the level of bodgery required to pull this off did not make me feel comfortable.

So it’s just going to be a belt-driven singlespeed winter runabout. For now at least.
