Will be finishing this next.

The Gary Fisher looks nice, but the second one is a crime against that lovely Raleigh frame.

Putting a massive front wheel and (relatively) tiny back wheel makes it look like something you'd see Traveller children skidding round their campsite. Will you also put drop bars on it, turned the wrong way up?

Please build that Raleigh properly, and use a Halfords Apollo for your terrible Frankenstein experiments!

Is it though?! Those Team Raleighs are so nice - they don't deserve that!

No better way to learn than getting your hands oily, fixie with single front brake, what could go wrong?
