So this began when I spotted this frame on this forum going for quite cheap. I used to have a street fixed bike back when I lived in Sydney a while back and kind of missed it so bought it on a whim. Combined this with a cheap second hand wheelset and some leftover parts.
Great thing is this is a true track frame meant for the velodrome, super steep head angle and tight geometry, barely fits 25mm tyres and massive amounts of toe overlap: just perfect! Supposedly it may be a Donohue made frame for Graham Weigh, in any case it's Reynolds 853 with an aero style downtube and the frame weight is a featherlike 1.68kg and forks 0.55kg.
Mockup with some pursuit bars and an old Look ergo stem I had lying around... looks kinda odd to be honest!
This thread will tell the story of how this bike got me riding at HHV and how it's changed over the past 6-9 months.
