But it's a fixx@yz, not a track bicycle. :(

to be honest that carbon 4 spoke looks ridiculous on that Merckx,

Matching wheels, drops, get thee to a velodrome and use it properly.

What he say's

And get your broken wrists healed.

Really not sure, I like the velocity aerohead, as suggested. Look nice on Pisty's ride. .

Mine are AERO, not AEROHEAD

Mine are AERO, not AEROHEAD

Yah, Hugo corrected me already :) They do look the part.

Mine are AERO, not AEROHEAD

Not Aerosmith

Any other suggestions?

Put front wheel in the other way round?

Why? He's in illustrious company.

Getting there.

Nice and simple, I like it.
Just needs pink bar tape.

Yes!

Sorry, forgot to say that yes its coming along very nicely.

Coming along nicely for sure Nuknow, love the 'raw/rare' finish and especially the forkcrown. Windowsill, though, is not loving the raw finish :-(

I think nuknow knows how to shim a stem, but yes it looks like someone had a 'mare at some point.

I got the bars already scratched, the price was unthinkable for Cinelli Pistas ; )

But what about the windowsill, eh?

Because this frame was built in Czech rep. in the early 80's, the conditions/,materials weren't the best. The tubing is a 'homemade', wood-pressed steel made in the city of Chomutv. The fitting of the headset was a nightmare - thanks Martin - the diameter of the headtube was different on both ends, the lower cup would get in just with a push. The fork steerer also had to be redone, and re-faced.
It feels really light and stiff, just a few details like bartape and it's done. I need a bike.

Looking good nuknow!
