A while back I bought this Somec frame (I've always loved) convincing myself it would do a great Italian C-track replica.

Ordered a custom fork from orlowski with a traditional pista crown lug, build myself some decent wheels, save money to catch sweet parts as headset, seat post and brand new tire..

This came out well IMO, and a bit less boring than a full C-rec build (still IMO)

Never seen another frame like this, so I like to told myself the expense worth it ..

Where is that coloured cog from? I need a pink one.

So clean

Nvm, found it. Blb right?

That Somec is GR999999.45. So wacky. Love it.

C-Dales are overhyped, would sell to get that Somec

Impressive attention to detail!

Thx fellas

@matteroftaste this one is a Halo, not a bad one for it price range..

@PepOne C-dale are still a "must have" but I think this one is much more rare.. Also love the Gios A90
Pista who seems impossible to get..

@Sig_Arlecchino I try, maybe I could improve the built with some Nitto bar ends & some Phil Wood cog..

Managed to get crankarms for the next Gangsta, is anybody able to date those ?
Also, 94 or 110 BCD ? Where could I get a 1'1/8 chainring (42 or less) in 94 or 110 BCD ?

Also, 94 or 110 BCD ?

Distance from bolt (center) to bolt (center) x 1,7 = ... BCD
For 94mm Gebhardt, for 110mm there are way more readily available (T.A, Sugino etc.)

@PepOne I was asking because I handn't them in hands at the moment..

Otherwise, a road (disc) oriented all around is on the way..
