**IRO Angus, bright orange. **
Now covered with black tape (see below), as the bright orange was a bit attention grabbing.
Hand built rear wheel, open sport 36h laced 3x with db spokes to the fixed / fixed on-one hub. I have sprockets both sides but only one lockring though.
KMC chain, (v old) brooks saddle, charge bullhorns, some basic shimano spds, one-on cranks, new bb and headset, built up by me at the end of August this year, with a brand new frame from cavendish cycles after this debacle.
Front wheel could do with truing, but I have an identical, barely worn rim (vuelta kronos) that could go straight on. That's currently laced up as a geared rear, though...
Front fork is a generic one that cavendish had in stock when I got the frame.
Shimano 105 front brake, ultegra pads, albeit a bit worn. Not currently as powerful as it could be, due to bodged cable routing (see photos!). Lever is a bar-end tri-style lever.
Size = 62cm
The rear is a 25c bontranger hardcase, the front is a 23c specialized armadillo.
Angus have this to say about the frame:
Our old school, classic track frame. Sleek and simple lines. Reynolds 631 steel tubing. Fixed only. 1” threaded fork. Front brake mounts only. No cable stops. One bottle mount. 120mm rear dropouts. Accepts up to 700x28cc tires. Headset 1" Bottom Bracket 68mm shell Seatpost 27.2 Rear Dropout 120mm
I have this to say -- utterly functional bike, stored outdoors in all weather, everything seems to work as it should. I can leave the kryptonite lock mount on if someone has a lock that fits.
Bad bits - on-one logo half rubbed off cranks. Not ridden for 2 weeks as I have a dutch bike, so chain is going as orange as the bike. No dust caps for crank bolts because they were stolen (?!) along with my airhorn...
