Here's a list of the parts I have so far...
I bought some 3T forks from here on the forum as I wanted something I put put a front break on. Although this bike is just for track I've got to cycle the 40 minutes down to Herne Hill....
Next up was the headset, Lunar cycles in Kentish Town recommended a Cane Creek Head set which they installed for me.
Although I'm happy wacking a crown racer on with a copper tube and a hammer I didnt think that was such a good idea with a carbon fork...
Most of the other parts I had from other builds so I only had to make decisions about a back wheel and cranks.
With a V sprint from Varno going cheap I had my rear wheel sorted so the only major decision was cranks.
The choice was going to be between Sugino 75s and Omniums.
With Condor doing the omniums which includes a BB at almost the same price as you see the Sugino 75s going for second hand I went for the Omniums.
Finally crank lengh, as I'm 6.1 I really considered getting 170s but as I might want to take it onto the Pringle one day I went with the 165s.
