MPrider Posted November 15, 2011 Share Hi,I just posted an add in the classifieds, but figured I'll probably reach more of you guys in this forum...anyways, I am looking for one of these old school road bikes (see attached) to convert into a city commuter. Can anybody help? don't want to spend more than R2000. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/110118-retro-commuter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPrider Posted November 17, 2011 Share cool guys,found myself a bike. the frame is awesome, but the rest pretty crap.so now I need some spares:anybody with a wheel-set - cheap cheap and light. wanna put some fat white slicks on...handlebar, was thinking flatbar or riser, but anything goes really...also wouldn't mind putting some basic shifters and deraillers on - it came with the stylish but probably totally useless old school shifters. please shout.but hey, anywhere in CT and area... not gonna mission with jozi stuff, right? right!

The Drongo Posted November 17, 2011 Share Dude. Shifters? Commute? I have 1 (one) word for you: Single Speed. Tote that into BMC CT 021 4484692. Speak to Jared.

This is what you should be aiming for.... agh, man.. i know there are some super cool hipsters out there ... but the truth is, if you live half way up a mountain and your calves don't look like sculptures carved out of a piece of polished rock, singlespeed (one word) really doesn't cut it for you ;-) Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/110118-retro-commuter/#findComment-1533295 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS is far less maintenance and lighter... Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/110118-retro-commuter/#findComment-1533330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
