This is my next fixed gear project. I bought this Raleigh Grand Prix when I was in Junior High School, so I have an extra special connection with this one. Right now this thing is a tank. The bike weighs in at about 30 pounds. That is probably because it still has all the reflectors that came on the bike as well as the kick stand!
My goal is to have this converted in time to ride it for the Chilly Hilly the last Sunday in February. I have a flip flop rear hub so will be riding it single speed style for that ride. I'm more worried about the down hills than the up hills. I don't think I can spin fast enough to keep my feet on the pedals...
