1970's Raleigh Carlton Fixed Gear convertion

This is actually the second Raleigh Carlton I have worked on. The first one I know was from the 60's and was in the words of the first owner "more expensive then a new VW Bug!". This one was a find from the local dump by the guy that currently owns the bike (I might have lost my mind with glee if this happened to me!). The parts and seat were a little beat up but, nothing really stayed on. I got it a new bottom bracket, new axle fixed gear rim, used front (both 700c from the original 27"), used specialized seat, and I cut some drop bars to make bullhorns. Better pictures soon.

Motobecane hybrid

This is a custom one I did last fall. Once upon a time this was my fixie frame, however it was WAY too big for me. It sat around for a few years until a good friend saw it and decided it was a good frame for a custom road bike (one that was actually tall enough for him). I got it new/used rims, Shimano 8 speed shifter brake levers, Sunlite expanding bottom bracket, used Sora cranks, bolt on hanger, new Deore derailleurs, new oury grips, and he got himself a brooks flyer:). 6 months in and the bike is doing well, lots of positive feedback.
