Picked this up the other day:
Rubbish picture I know, will get some better ones soon hopefully. Belonged to old pro Olaf Ludwig. This will probably only be used on the track and closed circuits/roads.
Stem is totally stuck in there, so I'm gonna let it sit upside down over night with the headtube full of penetrating oil and see if it'll come loose tomorrow.
Parts I have so far that will go on there: Suntour Superb Pro x TB14 wheelset, Sugino 75 cranks and bb, Flite saddle, some nice compacts I'm picking up tonight.
No idea for seatpost and stem yet. I'm guessing silver parts would look best? Maybe some Nitto? Open to suggestions. I also think white contact points would look good on this (see picture below), though I'm not sure I will be able to find a nice white saddle.
Also still debating if I'm going for gum walls for the tires. They look mighty nice on this build:
Note: The build above isn't my bike/frame. Just a picture as a frame of reference.
