I've started this thread for the Duell Warrior Track, but ended up to spam here all my current bikes, build, projects. The ones I've actual ridden are usually uploaded to pedalroom.
Back in September of 2015 I came across a listing about a "Duell Warrior Track" bike on a local bike forum. I kind of liked it, and I was planning to buy a proper track frame anyway, so went to check it in person. It was love at first sight, so I bought it without the wheelset and cockpit.
The inital setup was the following:
Miche advanced crankset, KMC 710 chain, some crappy xlc headset, no name seatpost, concor saddle, nitto jag with risers, excursion x novatec wheelset, and and awfully week VP Bottom bracket.
The frame had a horrible powder coating, luckily the fork was intact.
Bought a matching Miche team BB, a nice Rito aero seatpost, and repalced the saddle to my less retro looking but a lot more confy XLR.
It was a solid bike, I was planning to have it as my everyday beater - when I started to gather some info about the brand and learned this is pretty much a one of a kind, custom order frame, so I decided to restore it.
Plan is NJS all the way. Well at least as much as possible. I know its a bit odd for an european frame, but I just prefer japanese stuff over anything else.
By now, I've ordered almost everything - only looking for either a set of rims or a full rear wheel.
Parts are the following:
-Tange Levin headset (NJS) - kind of the only choice with 26.4 crown race
-Sugino 75 BB (NJS)
-KKT Kyokuto Pro Ace (NJS) pedals - I do not really like cages, so probably I'll get custom made starps
-DA 7600 165mm cranks (NJS), 7710 51T titanoum coated chainring (NJS)
-Izumi silver chain - plan to replace it with super toughness when I have the budget
-Suzue 18T cog - sadly no NJS in this size - yeah I know, I am week
-Nitto sp72 jaguar seatpost (NJS) - itt was freakin' hard to find one with 44m rail width
-Selle Italia MOST XLR - still searching for something more classical looking saddle
-MKS chain tugs (NJS)
-Nitto jaguar stem (NJS), Orion risers
-Araya Red, Dura Ace 7600 (NJS) with custom red plate, VIttoria tub front wheel
At the moment the frame is at the painter, promised 3 weeks to finish, so now I am waiting, and trieing to gather all the remaining stuff.
Here are some pics of the old setup.
