SOLD
Up for sale is my Somec Tempest track frame, Campagnolo Record headset, 1" Alpina fork, LOOK top cap, spacer and Somec seatpost clamp.
The frame is 60cm c-t, and 57cm long with an 18.3cm head tube. Takes an Italian BB.
The frame is made of Columbus Zonal tubing and very nicely finished, nice smooth welds everwhere. Handbuilt by mr Somec himself, Oliviero Gallegati. The top and down tube are tear drop shaped with what looks like the faintest hint of a crimp running end to end. Paint just looks white in the photos but is actually slightly pearlescent and catches the sun nicely.
The Alpina, not for sale separately, has a pivot probably around the 24/25cm mark in length.
The Record headset is in good condition.
The frame has some paint chips from U-locks but is otherwise in good condition, no dints, no cracks. Stickers are easily removed, they're mostly the wonderful combo of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu & Mameshiba. The fork has a couple of chips around the dropouts but is otherwise in very good condition.
A quick seach online for Somec Tempest will find you the previous owners far nicer build and photos, but here's what it's looked like with my rough/daily build:
Plenty more pictures available over here.
