As I didn't want to use my Cinelli Vigorelli as a commuter I decided to save some money and collect some decent parts for a second fixed gear, for commuting. In that way I could leave my Cinelli clipless and have a no nonsense commuter.
The plans are:
So I've got this allready in my possession:
Miche Pistard wheelset, these were on sale at a webshop for 125 euro's. Destickered them and think they look quite okay. Fitted some Durano tyres I found in the shop's warehouse.
Bars 'n stem
Chainset, cheap Primato's, but got these on a bike I bought once.
Saddle is a somewhat used rolls, but pretty good condition.
So I've got almost everything except a frame.
I'll take a look at a former KNWU trackbike next week, it was pretty cheap. It comes as a full bike and I believe there is a Sugino Supermighty chainset on it, so I might use that then.
As for the pedals, what do you guys think? I was thinking about some MKS track pedals with some double straps (hope to find some reasonably priced Cinelli ones) and I need some clips, should I go alu or plastic?
Let me know what you guys think.
