So I bought this Italian Viner 650 track recently:
Since it's very battered (you can't see how bad in the photo), I'm going to powdercoat it in the summer, and not before, so in the meantime I got some of this:
and created this monstrosity:
I'm in the process of swapping over all parts from Marshmallow the First.... which make it very weird looking, but it turns out the bugger has an oval chain ring! Yay!
And the crankset is Ofmega, so it has a unique BB. Hello new drivetrain. Oh, did I mention it has 150mm cranks, and it gets toe rub even with them? WOOO!
The forks are undrilled and the crown has no room for drilling, and I get about a fag paper's clearance with 23 tyres on. Hello new 650 fork with enough raking! Huzzah!
I do love these easy no-fuss bikes....
