Graham Weigh 531c - Fixed gear conversion.

Re:

Finally got around to fitting a chain, and took the BB apart to regrease it.
Weighs approx 21.5lbs as Is, would benefit from some lighter wheels no doubt.

A quick test ride down the road showed it was pretty quick, although I'll be changing the 23c tyres as soon as they're worn, some 28's or wider should fit without issue, and I'll fit some toe straps before the next ride with the fixed gear.

42 : 16 (69 inches)

I'm new to this fixed gear "thing", have ridden single speed mtb on and off for a few years, so I guess I'm halfway there... I hope.... :?

Hello. Sorry to post on an old post but if you still have this bike could you do me a real close up of the HT decal. I have a GW with same decal but very faded. They do not sell that decal anymore so need to try and get one made. My GW is similar age and GW shop advised it was built by Martelly in Belgium.
