De rosa track bike 1981, raced by danny clark in 81/82. it is confirmed that he took the bike to the 1981 world keirin championships and a number of other events (not sure which events where won on it yet), i have got almost all the history but still in the process of completing. Anyway I am one happy bunny.
spec:
Frame and forks built from columbus tubing
campa record pista chrome headset, bb and seat post.
cinelli stem and bars
dura ace chainset and hubs
olimpic track pedals
dura ace chainset and hubs
bike is original apart from saddle and bartape. Itis currently on its training wheels with normandy hubs, i am restoring the dura ace wheels at the moment (never seen the hubs before they look a bit like sheriffstars).
