This is a heartbreaking thing to do but I'm soon to move into a new flat and I've been given a strict 2 bike limit by my girlfriend.
This is a RIDICULOUSLY BEAUTIFUL track bike built by Bob Read in the late 1990s.
It has super shiny twin plated chrome forks and chrome rear stays.
It was resprayed in a luscious deep red and cream about 4 years ago. The paintwork is absolutely immaculate, save for the tiniest couple of marks on the drive-side downtube.
This bike is so nice in the flesh. I've seen people pass out in a state of sexual ecstacy as i cycle past.
Top tube = 56cm c-c
Seat tube = 56cm c-t
Comes with -
Campagnolo Record high-flange pista hubs laced to Mavic Open Pro CD clincher rims. The rims have never seen a brake and are thus in fantastic condition with no marks on them whatsoever. Hubs are flawless and will glide for days. Comes with a 20t sprocket and lockring. Also included are the MKS thin chain tugs (NJS).
Miche Primato pista chainset. The classic version with the yellow logo. 165mm and 49t chainring. Both chainring and crank arms are in fantastic condition and look like new.
Specialized pista chrome threaded headset. Buttery smooth and very shiny.
Specialized pista stem (90mm). I'm pretty sure this is a Nitto stem which was later branded as Specialized. Very rare stem and extremely attractive.
Cinelli Pista handlebars. Lovely drop bars in excellent condition.
Campagnolo Record pista seatpost. Aero and shiny!
Viewings are welcome and highly recommended. The pictures do not remotely do this bike justice.
