Principia track is coming along. Im starting to like the idea of keeping it and riding it myself. The toptube is my size but the headtube is half as short (10cm) as the white one above.
I straightened out the headtube with surprising ease. I put a flat handlebar half way into the headtube, and gently eased out the dents. Its almost 100% round now, inserting the headset will sort that.
The headtube takes a 1-1/4" headset, so because im broke, ill be buying a headtube reducer: https://www.bike24.com/p2126254.html
Funny that a frame from 1999 uses 1-1/4"..
The diameter in the seattube increases where the dent is, so jamming the seatpost all the way down didn't do anything. Im not to worried about it.
Mockup with a 1-1/8 headset slopped in there. wheelbase 94.5cm..
excuse the messy background.
