Won it on ebay yesterday nervous last 5 mins as another bidder jumped in. After seeing that Gazelle track beauty in Brick Lanes Cycles and another nice one on the streets of London I thought it might be a nice one to fix up. I am tempted to remove any sticky outy bits with a dremel but I guess it would be a shame if ever it were to go back to a geared bike and could well mess up the nice paint job. Now just got to get the bits to get it road worthy. Any suggestions for a nice strong hub rim combo. I see quite a bit of Suntour Superbe Pro hubs on ebay .... worth the effort ? Nice kit ? I am not sure about the rear hub width will I have to get a free hub or will I get a track hub to fit ? I have relied on my l.b.s. to assist in builds in the past I might try and do this one all myself using Sheldon Browns site and the Fixed Gear Gallery Bobs Garage see if I can work it all out myself.
