This is a 80's Raleigh Olympian frame that I tinkered around with for a while before finishing up. I got the frame from a student leaving Chicago. She graduated to a newer model Motobecane but this was her single speed ride. I was able to find the original cranks but that's about it so I kept it single speed.
It's a all around great bike, Chro-Moly tubing, Weinmann center pulls, and Alex 303 Wheelset I have it at a pretty high ratio too so it is a beast to ride. The front chainring is 52t and the rear flip flop cog/free wheel is 16t. Very fast but you have to be strong!
