^^ 7710s a close second but not blingy enough for orange with gold sparkles.

Niice!

I used to run 52/19. Found it spot on for me.

Sweeeeeeeet frame!

7710 to match the chainset

I agree ;)

Such a beauty

Awesome frame. What's its history, famous forrin rider or big Japanese chap?

Picked up recent about to convert to Singlespeed as a Do Most Things Ride....

Thinking rear rack flat pedals maybe straps no clipless

What is a good ratio o run with a 52t ring up front?

52/21 is a nice mid 60s tooling around gear.

We'll have no tooling around my gear, thank you!

Good stuff Fahrgestell! Build's gonna look rad. Second the 52/19 on the road.

New steed for commuting duties. Hopefully I can make it look a little less boring

sparkly Samsony goodness

52/19 toot toot!

... little bit lazy off the line but takes a good stretch to feel like running out of Gear

plan to be back on it with something minus a rack

soon

Awesome frame. What's its history, famous forrin rider or big Japanese chap?

I translated the page with Google, apparently his name is "Conduction Averted"

Hi there, who can identify these wheels?
i was told they are shamals but i can't find another pair like this on the internet. Someone had painted them black when I got them and I restored them a little.
cheers

has someone just put their own decals on?

New Frame - Colnago Dream Pista 56cm

Thanks to Grinne in HK !

Put on my old wheels for photographic purposes.

*Parts Purchased *

1.Campy Omega V's - Black
2.Campagnolo Record Pista cranks in black 47x17
2.Colnago Carbon seatpost
4.Flite Titanium - Taken from old build, I may change this for carbon saddle of some sort.

Parts and Work Required

Need to chop that steerer down and properly install the BB.

1. New Chris King 1" Black - installed headset is fucked
   
2. Campagnolo Pista Track hubs - black anode preferably but have been unable to source
   
3. Carbon Stem - 3T Arx Ltd, Zipp SL Sprint, WR Compositi Victory and Enve are all under consideration but want something with around - 10˚ which makes the Zipp at - 12˚ the favourite, may look into Aluminium alternatives.
   
4. Izumi Super toughness or HKK Blue/Black
   
5. Handlebars - I've got some 3T Carbon drops, but I would like to try risers or bullhorns preferably carbon on this build
   
   

Once I've settled on the hubs I'll get them laced to the Omega V's, probably going to go with silver spokes.

Weather is improving so fast, need to get this fucker built.

That looks fantastic, is it NOS because I can't see anyone riding it with the steerer that long?

With a 'fucked headset', I'm guessing the fork might be newer than the frame?

Fork was sourced from another Dream Pista. Frame came without forks, lucky the decals matched.

Replacing headset because top does not sit on housing very well, there is a gap and no seal. This maybe the Chris King design (never used one before) and I'm replacing for no reason.

That nag is incredible. Are you Rob's housemate?

Selling the old headset? I'm in need of a 1" ck...

Yeah, if I get rid of the CK I'll let you know, it needs a new race and star nut. But I guess you might already have those.

Ah right needs a new crown race? Can get them from wiggle. Drop me a pm if you decide to let it go, want one to convert to threaded so if there is a problem with top cap it doesn't matter.
