Dave Russell track

ahh makes me think of that ussr tank of a frame i have right now, I've been fitting a bb and dropped a massive monkey wrench onto the top tube (was upside down) and not a dent or scratch.

I would say very lucky.

I'm not sure if you know it, but it's been sand blasted and clear coated by Armourtex after my failed attempt. I prefer my finish, you saw the pics of it looking different, but lacquer i used started peeling of one week after spraying it, before it was even build up. I've tried to do it myself and failed, but had a good time doing it.

nah man im not touching the finish :P

Great frame.

In my yoot I used to watch the good Mr Russell working his metal magic in his shop in Chalvey whilst blagging cups of tea. He was a proper geezer.

ahhh cool, where abouts?

Wheels arrived, just need some tubs.

Sorry for massive images, need to learn how to resize
They run even smoother and longer than the DA hubs
sooo shineeyyyy

are you now selling the DA-set?

^^Out of curiosity, are those ProMax the NJS ones? I have those hubs but mine are the non-certified model, and I can't believe yours are the same as mine if they compare so well against the DA.

Chalvey in Slough, he had a real old fashioned red painted shopfront . Inside was a cornucopia of bikes and bits.
Fond memories.

No

Yes they are.

Now all I need is a nitto silver seatpost and im sorted, anyone want to trade for the syncros? its too short for me

What size is that seatpost? I dont have anything for you but i may take it if it fits mine

hmmm syncos, i wouldn't mind it

not really worth a nitto though

Ben, I've got nitto 83 if you need one.

It's pretty much 2,3 cm longer than in the photo, can you pm me doc as I'm out and about.
P.s. I'm want to go for a full jap build by may 12th when its the dulwich vs stpaiuls track comp

^ ...and it's my birthday same day!

got few different nitto stems if intrested. Will pm later.

That's a pretty bike. I'd remove the stickers from the rims and add some black cloth tape if it was mine.

Set up for Herne Hill tomorrow, thanks to all those who responded quickly to provide the parts I needed.

All I need now is a nice Nitto Jag seatpost or silver thomson elite

^Nitto only.

Nice ride. Good luck with HH.

Lovely man, all i can say is can you please rotate the chainring clockwise one bolt, it then lines up nicely with the cranks (the zen logo i mean) and looks niccee, probably a bit ocd for most, but it looks nicer i think

I have a silver thomson elite in 27.0 x 400, let me know if you are interested

it takes 27.2 seat post.

he's got a seat post now anyway, hence the 30mm saddle hunt.

Kashimax is what you'll have to go for for a 30mm saddle, it'll be expensive new though, NJS innit
