Balk Track

Fork hopefully solved now

Frame has arrived and is awesome, fork getting paid for tonight hopefully. pictures dont really do the frame justice. the crimped tt and dt are sweet. This thing is gonna be stiff as hell though. quick research makes me think it may be the same tubeset from the colnago dream pistas from the early 2000s (Columbus airplane with fancy top and down tube)

Fork is on the way, headset is in the mail, winter is here :(

Noice! Is that a Zeus fork?

No idea

So on to the serious questions, run xentis MK1 or buy an mk1 tt?

lol

You're overthinking this

Winter time is shopping time. Classifieds are flush with cheap cool stuff right now.

Maybe you should buy some of that then rather than Xentis and shitty Flites

Everyones a critic

Please don't fuck this build up, it's a nice frame do it some justice, if your capo is anything to go by this is not going to end well lol.

Neither build is done ..

Glad you didn't get the Coppi fork :)

Yeah, the one I have coming should be the perfect length ht+hs stack. Less work the better

Fork showed up and I can finally get a look at this thing, fork may need paint

also got a vintage controltech seat post coming

Forks looks good on it, black kit as well!

Thats the plan.

Spoke to Balk, they where able to confirm the frame was made in 2001 and was the stiffest frame ever tested by Fiets magazine to that date. Waiting to see if they can dig up anything else on it.

Just sent funds for zen ring, now everything just needs to show up

Silver zen looks pretty good on rotors hopefully will work well on carbon fsa also...

Like where this is going. I don't think fork needs paint. Are you the only fixed gear rider in Austria?

No there is quite a few. Lots of blb catalog builds and lots couriers

Mail day means seatpost and CK no logo have arrived. Waiting on chainring and saddle to put it together
