Yellow Diamant Lo-Pro

Bike and CP #3 for me. My wife is happy as long as they are not all in our living room at one time.
Received this Lo-Pro frame from a guy with waaay too many nice bikes. At 55CM it is a tad small for me but I think with some bullhorns it will work. Frame is in good condition, chrome is tatty but came with a nice 650c fork.
Shoehorned in a rough campagnolo record headset I had lying around.
BB is a Campagnolo chorus 111mm.
Campagnolo NR Cranks and a sugino mighty 42t 3/32 chainring.
Front is a Zipp 404 tub 650c with a miche hub.
Rear is a carbon ambrosio disk I have three of, will paint it black and install a black tubular.
I have a NOS Salsa black stem in the post and a black seatpost.

looks like a fun project, setting it up fixed?

Fixed yes.
The ambrosio discs are a weird beast, they have one side fixed threading one side freewheel thread all with a nice little screw on cover that fits on both sides, BUT they do not have a real braking surface so kinda strange. They have a hollow axle for quick release which I'll swap out for a solid axle for now (quick release is not strong enough to hold the axle in place for fixed/brakeless).

Shame it's not 700/700 for dual disc mode

^^you could also get some fixed tensioners for forward facing dropouts. or.just gotta hope they take normal bearings or summit

you should also get a bigger front ring to make it look like a lopro tt beast. you got crabonz and disc wheels an'all..

how much?

what do you mean by fixed tensioners ?.
bigger ring now installed, along with black seatpost, waiting on the salsa then pics will come.

He means you can use chain tensioners with a qr axel rather than switching it to a bolt on

Would be interested in tensioners for forward facing dropouts, have a link ?.
Don't worry, I used the Fscking Search and found them: http://www.lfgss.com/thread19638.html
Might think about it, solid axle is preference though, bearings are cup/cone so should't be an issue.

Here is a teaser of the stem:http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTEzNFgxMTM2/z/kH0AAOSwC81TYtEP/$_57.JPG

Hey, really cool project!

Regarding that stem though, i've read about this some time ago so just to let you know there were some safety issues. Read here http://www.salsacromotostem.com

Cheers!

thanks kifla, the forum of awesome might have saved my butt once more.
emailed the seller.

Salsa arrived and it is luckily not in the recall.

Salsa and some chopped road bars. Nice to ride now. Might sell.

Sold it to a gentleman from Hamburg in Germany. Admittedly it was a pinch to small for me.

@gereonb whatcha do with the ambrosio disc? u keep it?

@BigH Ambrosio Disc is Tubular, Carbon Fiber with foam filling. I have three of them, they are Freewheel one side and fixed the other side. They have some rim damages, I have fixed up one using epoxy and Painted using gloss black, looks ok, rides ok. Will hopefully have time to fix up the others at some point.
