someone came into the shop while i was out yesterday with their old bicycle..

the repair tag said they wanted it to be converted to a singlespeed in the cheapest way possible; to strip off the derailleurs and shorten the chain.. the Campy gran sport front was mangled long ago and the rear had been replaced with a plastic Simplex, but beaneath all the grime i could still make out the open C's and Magistroni cranks and Universal brakes and three piece hubs laced to 27" Fiamme yellow label rims.. i could barely make out the headbadge though.. looks like a globe with 'Welter' across it.. nice workmanship with forged dropouts.. no derailleur hanger..

i asked if he was interested in selling but he said no..

what would you do ? and what's a Welter ?
