This is an oddball bike, i believe its the forerunner to the nemo colorway scandium frames by a couple of models. I bought it from a chap thats previously posted it on here and ive seen a thread on it on Retrobike too. Story goes that its an ex dutch/knwu youth training bike but im not totally sure thats the case. Ive only seen pictures of 2 others on google and searching old koga catalogues shows a similar road model from around 96-97.
I built it up as a fixed gear TT bike just in time for my last club 10 event last year and did my PB on it. Paint was ratty as fuck, fork is starting to give way so its been replaced with one i bought off @Scilly.Suffolk. - problem then was that the paint looked odd with chrome rear stays and a matt black fork so >>
Todays effort - decided to repaint with blue/yellow pearl fade, did a really shit job, rushed, what prep? and up close it shows- runs etc
