Don't know if this deservers a separate thread, but here goes:
Wanted to try fixed again, so bought a Track Champ and threw it together with parts I had laying around:
It was okay, but I wanted something else, and a bit nicer. Got my hands on a Cinelli Parallax 2015, in black
Next was wheels. I've always wanted to try a couple of Dura Ace 7600 hubs (best looking hubs out there). Ordered a set. Still waiting on the front-hub, due to backorder though.
Then a friend texted. He had a couple of Suzue Pro Max carbon hubs and some Araya CT-19N lying around. Of I went, and now they're mine...!
Probably gonna lace these with some DT Rev spokes and brass nipples
Chainset-wise I had a MOST lying around. Basically, a rebranded Miche chainset.
50t chainring, and Miche BB.
This will probably be changed to something nicer, when it wears out or I get an offer I can't refuse!
Next step is lacing the wheels, and figuring out cockpit and seatpost. Safe-choice is Thomson, but a bit to easy. Maybe Zipp, and I think I have a Fizik saddle somewhere. Any ideas?
