I've picked up a Cannondale BadBoy frame on eBay, and although it has wheels and a bar it has no gears, no brakes, no seat. My intention is to convert it into a fixie and pimp it up a bit for pootling around on with my kids in the park. This is my first bike project so I want it to be easy. Perhaps then the next one I will get a road frame and build it up from scratch...

According to Evans website it has 28" wheels, can anyone recommend a decent flip flop 28" hub/wheels please? Or will it take a different size instead? I'd like the tyres to be as fat as possible in this instance for comfort (I've got 23 and 28 on my other bikes) over gravel, grass etc. I quite fancy some coloured hubs and Schwalbe Kojak tyres...

    well first off what are the current wheels?

    are you sure you need to change wheels?

    I'm not picking it up for another 2 weeks Nick, so I couldn't answer that question. I imagine they are the stock wheels that came with it with an alfine hub.
