So this is my first baby, i wanted to try a mountain bike first, an older one with horizontal dropouts or as close as i could ge them, the Raleigh Lizard was a pretty nice colour as well and that sealed the deal.
So there she is, a Raleigh lizard and three wheels, managed to blag a cassette wheel so i can easily put a conversion kit on the back hub.
This is her after she was stripped down, didn't realise a bike needs specific bike tools so wasnt't able to take off crank arms,bottom bracket,chain or stem, lesson learned and tools ordered.
Plan is to change bottom bracket, find single piece crank set, convert rear wheel to singlespeed using a converson kit, new stem and handlebars, new seat post and saddle,new singlespeed chain, clean and repair brakes, put new brake cable on.
That should do her, i will probaly tinker about with things as i go.
Computer is playing up so will post more tomorrow
