Classic track bike build up

**.: Stefan's classic track bike build up ***

Hi everyone,

after riding a couple enjoyable months with my road bike, I just decided to converted it to a singlespeed one.
Which was such a fun and a friend finally got me in to the fixed gear fever, so it was time for the first track
bike Project!

So I sold my road bike completley and gladly found a suitable frame for my intend in a German cycling forum.
It's not the best frame for the track, actually. But it was cheap and with the right frame size.

It's a old lovely Italian road frame from the 70's I couldn't found any decals, on and under the coating, just a thiny
Record Special Cycles decal on the upper seat tube section, kind of confusing. Anyway the paint was shipin' of and
the gear lever mountings and the rest of the welded parts was gratuitous, not only the aesthetic perspective just
simply unnecessary for my plan. After bloody hours of miling, filing, grinding and re filling a couple scratches... I actually
made, it was ready for the epoxy coat and a subsequent thick primer coat.

After seeing my winkly fingers and smelling the unpleasant odor of the wet sandpaper, it was for sure ready for the paintjob :)
I found a rusty old varnish can in the garage from my vather, it was the rest varnish of Porsche (92T) Arktis-silver metallic paint,
which he used for his motorcycle. I really liked it, the silver grey had such a vintage look so I just used it for my project.

And the paintjob was finally done, after spraying a last lovely clear coat;

After searching hours for a hubset I luckly found a cheap pair of Campagnolo Super Record Pista hubs.

I currently looking for a Campagnolo Omega Strada rim, to get the wheels done. That's it for the beginning, I guess.

Thank you very much for watching, hope you like it guys!
