Hey guys, love this place. Definitely my favorite bike forum. I have some other old European track bikes I wouldn't mind posting, is there an old thread for those?
Maybe you guys can offer me some input on wrapping up my project HVZ. It's a 1964 HVZ V64 Record that I bought to ride around town. I love crusty bikes and internet scavenger hunts, so I managed to track down correct parts with the assistance of some very kind and helpful individuals. It has been a joy to work on, nothing was seized or stuck, everything went together beautifully. The paint looks much better than I expected and it has some pinstriping that wasn't visible until I cleaned it up. A friend helped me finish final tensioning on the wheels, and I put on some 25c gumwalls without glue to see how it looks. I love tubs and I love gumwalls. However, I feel like something's a bit off, do you guys think black would look nicer?
