Raleigh Fixed Gear Project - RogueSphere Cyclery
Loading...
Uploaded by POPPASHANGO on Jan 31, 2009
Another project bike from RogueSphere Cyclery Edmonton. This was a Raleigh Grand Prix I saved from being parted out. The lines and style of this 28 year old classic bicycle was perfect for a fixed gear conversion. Take a look and be sure to stop by RogueSphere Cyclery to see the project notes on this bike and others.

@4Cheezmo4 without going back to my project records, I would say off the top of my head I spent $250 on the parts through ebay, Kijiji and Bike Shop sources.

@pogglywogly Hey that's awesome pw! I got my fathers Royce Union that he and I restored, rode it for a few years and then it was stolen. About 5 years after that I sold an old timer riding it down the road pulling a trailer full of cans. My mother, who was driving, asked if I wanted to turn around and get it back. I figured one of his grandkids must have snaked it from my garage. But he must have needed it to collect his cans...so I let it go.
At any rate, you keep that Grand Prix locked up!

I have a 1970 Raleigh Grand Prix that was bought new by my dad. Everything was still original and all. I ended up pumping $650 bucks into the bike to really get it rolling like it was new again. It was almost like restoring an old car and it is a really neat feeling having that to go around with and it does get attention.

How did you remove the welded parts? I want to remove the brakes on mine and those cable holders look gross on the frame

@xalexisxmrcsx I cut them off with a Dremel with a cutting disk attachment. They zipped off clean in an instant. Thanks!
