Ciclos Uno Tangerine Dream track bike

Hello forumites,

I managed to get a pretty special looking frame from @•Ⓣ• , with the intention of building up a track bike since I now live within riding distance of a velodrome (Herne Hill).

There's some much better photos of the frame on the classifieds post and some more info.

Still not sure on what exactly it is apart from a columbus stamp on the dropouts, a few small Plowman Craven stickers and a Ciclos Uno paint job.

Planning to build it up fairly classy but with a modern wheelset. Don't want to get too crazy with the parts as I'd rather race it than get too precious about it. Current build as it stands:

Frame/forks: ???
Headset: Campagnolo Chorus
Stem: Nitto NTC-150 100mm
Bars: Nitto B123 Cro-mo 40cm
Seatpost: Nitto S65

Might swap the bars to something shallower in the future. The drops are almost 10cm lower than I'm used to on the road bike.

Dream build if budget allows:

Cranks: Sugino 75s (silver)
Wheelset: DT Swiss T 1800
Tyres: Vittoria Corsas clinchers

Very nice!

Looking forward to seeing this at HHV!

Such a nice frame. This is going to be sick I'm sure.

Beautiful!

Managed to find a second hand T1800 front wheel, and got a generic looking Fabric scoop flat saddle.

So finding a rear DT Swiss T 1800 wheel to match the front is proving pretty difficult. For some reason there's loads of fronts and full wheelsets, but no rears.

Ordered a Miche Primato crankset in silver and picked up a 107 mm BB for it, only to find someone has put a 111 mm in the 107 mm box.

Wrapped the bars, finally found a T1800 rear wheel and fitted the some 23c corsas.

Would have preferred to only wrap the drops for looks, but I'm pretty paranoid about the bars swinging round and denting the top tube, and a bit less sketchy riding on the tops for warm-ups etc.

The tyre clearance is pretty tight at the back so I might end up switching the rear tyre for a 21c or 19c in the future, depends how much things flex. There's already some tyre rub back there from the previous owner(s).

Cranks have arrived, nothing fancy just Miche Primato, running 49x15.

Almost wish more parts were delayed since I now have a complete bike but no open velodromes.

Lovely balance of black & silver, very smart looking in general! I'd be tempted to desticker the rims myself, as the frame's decals are pretty loud.

Did i spot this at HHV on Saturday sporting a silver wheelset?

If so, looked great!

Good spot! Yes, first time out on it on Saturday.
