Finally got myself a proper track frame to replace the Ribble (now a full on winter bike).
To change: aero shiny black seatpost, maybe a turbo, gonna try out bullhorns / a longer stem, black front brake... not sure which one, something not too chunky, suggestions welcome.
The wheels are literally exactly what I want: gun metal grey Open Pro's on Formula hubs with double butted Sapim spokes. Rear has never seen a brake and they look sick.
Frame is bangin. The shape and rake of the forks is beautiful and the paint is perfectly ratty and fluro. It's not a Nag, but I'm inclined to leave the decals as it'd look a bit naked and generic without them. Suggestions for replacement decals are welcome... I know it's 531 but that's about it.
Just back from a spin round Richmond with a big smile on my face.
There's 472 on the BB shell, drilled short point lugs and wrap over seat says... might put some detail shots in the "identify this" thread. Hillary Stone believed it to be 80s...
