This has just come up on a local selling page on Facebook £15 I quite like it with an aim to make a "ride out with the kids" single speed. What d'ya recon?

Come on, us lot at home need pictures of the RB site building up :)

In my youth I decided I preferred the radial spoked front wheels as opposed to the "normal" way. So after stripping the wheel down and building it up with THE SAME spokes, but of course they are too long to have them radial, so being a young naive pup I had them running in opposing directions...

Is that Fathers day weekend?
