Im not a big fan of conversions but this is awesome! Great choice of components, deffinetly the best conversion ive ever seen hands down. Good job sir.

Thanks man! I know nothing about the dropout when i first started to build a fixed gear bike and ends up i got a conversion =( It was like "oh shit! i got a wrong frame!" when the bike mechanic first told me something about horizontal dropout for fixed. I would love to have a track frame when i have the sufficient budget, as i personally love lugged steel frame a lot and it is pretty costly to get a good one ! Since many ppl also started off with a conversion, i will just try to make the best of what i have.

I think a big percentage of people on here started out with a conversion. My first bike was a Stella conversion with the seatpost rusted into place haha i knew nothing of bikes at all and i got a job as a messenger so i had to throw it together. And still im nowere close to getting the bike of my dreams kinda thing but i have plenty of time to get there. I wish my first conversion looked like this!!

I'm currently building up an 79' Raligh Grand Prix with brooks saddle and tape. I'm just trying to mentally prepare for the saddle break-in period...

yeah I love green frames.
I was so cloese to buying a green & white mash, but am glad that I ended up with the green & white steel 722, steel brought back fond memories as to why I got into cycling in the first place many years ago!... I sold my carbon bike, cause I could not go back after steel. didn't feel right!
keep riding!

Cool! Looking forward to see ur 79' Raleigh Grand Prix! The saddle break-in wont take too long, mine is super comfy now =) The green heritage is so much better than the green mash, u made the right choice! I love steel frame too!
Just keep on spinning!

Awesome looking bike! Looks extremely clean. With that ratio you'll only get one skid patch though :/
