Picked this up on Saturday.
Superia track frame Ishiwata 022
59 cm c-t
Dura Ace 10 Pitch components
Some ruse and scratches on the frame, but all okay.
10 mm drive train hardly used
Spokes completely rusted, but easy to rebuild the wheels.
Not sure if I will leave the frame/fork as it is or repaint.
In case I restore it, I have to make replicas of the decals, which will be not that hard.
Because of the brand of the bike, the age and the component choice, it may be a frame of an ex pro, e.g. the former 1978/1979 Marc Zeepcentrale team with track riders Patrick Sercu, Gary Wiggins, Danny Clark, Herman van Springel, Ferdi van den Haute, ...
First, I wanted to buy the frame set and sell the chain set.
But since the seller gave me the wheels with original hubs and sprockets and because the original Dura Ace BB-set and headset were still assembled, I'm considering to keep the parts and to complete the group set.
But the hardest part may be, to find the matching Dura Ace 10 mm pitch chain.
Does anyone know such a chain for sale (except the US$ 320,- one from Portland, Oregon (U.S.) on Ebay.com) ?
