Hi guys - asking for advice here:
I wanna turn this ALAN Super Record into a city single speed.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Alan-Record-1-Frame-Forks-56cm-Later-Oval-Top-Tube-Model-130mm-Spacin/264951062443?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2750.l2649
But i just noticed (stupidly) that it has the gear sprockets on it. Frustrates me aesthetically to have them there with a track/single speed set up. Not all ALAN frames do, in fact most dont.

Wanna what the deal is here, can you take them off? I presume they are welded in.
Any pointers let me know B
it has the gear sprockets on it
Do you mean the down tube shifter bosses?
But agreed with @Lolo, that frame is not very suitable for a single speed setup.
