The 6 pence wonder

This has got to be the cheapest bike I’ve ever bought – a whopping 6 pence bought me an old Raleigh frame from the 60’s off Ebay, almost ready for the tip – but prime fixie conversion material. Ok it needs a lot of work – the stem has seized in the headset, the paintwork is knackered and the bottom bracket needs an overhaul, but it will be just amazing how much a little TLC can do.

So I shall keep you posted on the progress.. in the meantime – here’s the 6 pence wonder!
