Long time project: Favorit Pursuit.

Hi!

I bought the frame in the beginning of august and my plan is to have it done before summer '14.

My goal is to build it with Gipiemme crono special pista or special pista depending on what I can find. The reason to why it's a long time project is that I haven't got too much money and even if I did, it's hard as hell to find the right parts.

I've come a part down the road since I began.

I started out with:

Then I got a hold of this front wheel (never mind the rear wheel, it's just to view the angles of the frame better):

My plan is to buy a Campagnolo Khamsin disc (or some other cheap disc), paint it black and print Gipi stickers to match the front wheel.

Not a big catch but still a catch:

And then I found a Cinelli LA.84 and a Cinelli 1a stem from the same seller (worthless image):

That's how far I've come 'til now. If you find any Gipi pista parts for sale anywhere in the world PM or post here.

this is rad.

There's not much I can use from that add. I know, I can buy it all and sell the parts I don't need but I don't really have the financial cover for that. Thanks anyways!

Also, I've got a part (you'll see what it is) on it's way to me. I'm thrilled!

Yesterday som more parts came. Heatset, cranks, rear wheel and pedals.

Left is to change the rear wheel axle and buy a Bottom Bracket (I'll start off with a non Gipiemme BB). And of course bar tape.

I've gotten some info regarding tubing and the model of the frame. It's a Favorit F2 Track Typ 2. It's made of Reynolds 531 tubing and was probably built in the late 80's in former Czechoslovakia by the company Favorit Rokycany.

Last week I found a Gipiemme Pista 68mm BB. So the last missing peace is on it's way home. Soon, very soon it's done.

can't go wrong with some 80's porn!

looks great. kudo's for the gruppo too!

Thanks, I'm stoked to have the group. Not the easiest thing I've done.. but the Wheels are more dope IMO. And I have a better picture now.

Winwinwin!

Awesome

Very nice. Has someone scrawled 'BLB Swag' on the front wheel? Poor form

And thanks everyone!
