Bike Build advice

  • Picked up a frame from the depths of my clubs shed today, and need advice on building it up for track league. It's steel with some nice looking lugs, guessing 70's vintage. Also picked up a pair of wheels, rear is a Mailard hub on Mavic Monthlery, front is an unknown hub on Fiamme Red rim.Everything appears in pretty good condition.

    I need a minimum of a stem, bars and chainset to get it rideable.

    Bars and stem - I guess Nitto ? Does anyone else make 1" threaded stems now ?
    Chainset - Miche or Sugino ? As much as I'd like Record or Dura Ace, they're probably a bit too pricey.

  • I could sell you some nice DA cranks. 170mm, square taper.
    lettering is slightly rubbed, but in great condition otherwise.
    Lots of people still make quill stems, and Bars.
    depends on the look you're going for.
    If you're building vintage, then ebay/ jos / roberto is your best bet.

  • I'm undecided about building it up with vintage parts. I'll be racing on it most weeks during the summer, so wouldn't want a part to fail on me mid sprint !

    Anyone have any experience with racing on vintage bikes ?
