1970 Raleigh Record Fixie re-do

Early 1970's Raleigh Record Fixie.

Best head-badge ever.

Much better.
I redid the Raleigh Record from a few days ago because the bottom bracket was cross threaded and the cotter pinned cranks and steel rims that came on it just wont hold up.  Origin 8 cranks and cages, unsealed track hubs laced to Alex 450 Aero rims.

Raleigh Record single speed project

This is the exact same Record that I have, as seen in my personal Bike Check.  I got to build this one in a low budget way similar to the way I would build mine if I made it a fixed gear.  Normally I think turning old road bikes into fixies is blasphemy (just hunt down a vintage track frame for real), but this one came sans rear wheel, front derailleur, stock leather seat and had already been converted to cruising bars a long time ago so it was a prime exception to the rule.  I didn't give this one the full beans because I didn't have the heart to smash apart the seized cotter pin cranks just yet, but we have some nice black and polished Origin 8 cranks and some hand build black and silver track wheels waiting for it for the right customer.

This break is actually waaay less common than you'd think from how sketchy that weld looks on old Raleigh's.
