Hi guys,
This is my first projects thread so you'll have to bear with me! I've read a lot of others current projects so I figured I should write one for my own project, all be it a strange one.
I bought the frame before Christmas and it sat about looking a bit sorry for its self for quite a while until recently when I decided to build it up as a track bike (shoot me I know!).. It made sense because I was only really a BB and seat post away from getting it rideable and it seemed better than it sitting about waiting for its eventual road build.
The frame was actually new when I got it and came in its original brown paper wrapping. It still had paint in the seat tube an bb threads with no markings from wheels on the dropouts! It hasn't been stored in the most careful way though so has its fair share of scratches like many other Takhions.
I'll update with a full parts list at some point but it should be pretty self explanatory!
Let me know what you guys think! Oh and bear in mind it will eventually get a road build, so no fixie conversion hate please as it'll get the build it deserves in due time :)
Cheers
