Personally I was more excited about the hub.
What the hell is it and where do i find one?You can learn more about the hub here :
http://akfixed.blogspot.com/2009/04/adams-fetish-part-2-scavenger-hunt.htmlAs you can read it is a custom road hub transformed into a track hub, the rims are Vento front / Gipiemme Techno 16h rear. I think he had problems afterward with the custom rear hub.

That bartape looks really nice.

and the bars, any idea what they are?
-
• #22859
I would rather trust the people who spend too much time dissecting every component. (and I don't mean the people on forums who just make stuff up). Bike shop people don't have the time, and sadly not always the interest.
I tend to know more about bikes/parts than people in bike shops and it isn't even my living!
I call bollocks on that! I haven't met you, but I bet you know lots about one specific area of cycling, try knowing lots about many areas of cycling.
Or have you just been to Evans?

I´ll say they´re Nitto B127 (anatomical bend), I´m really keen in getting some for my Rap.

Nice, I want a proper track bike :-(
Why am I so tall? Nuno if you see any 64cm+ lugged track frames give me a shout...

I wasn't disagreeing with you James1822, as my LBS is excellent and always gives good advice.
However, especially here in London it seems, you go into a shop and they steer you toeards a product which isn't right, you question it, and they get all flustered.
Anyways... This is is deviating considerably from the topic of this thread.
(This is where I would insert a picture of a lovely bike, sadly, I have none).

P.S. That's not to say that there aren't any good shops in London. There are!

Call what you want. I have been very interested in bikes for 35 years and have a nerdy side that means I like to know as much as possible. Over the 35 years I have ridden BMX, geared road, trials, fixed, cross, singlespeed, coaster braked etc,.etc. so I would say my experience is fairly wide.
That goes for many others too I would imagine and they don't work in bike shops either.Worth remembering that bikes are straight forward so not exactly difficult to become very knowlegeable on given enough time.

i resent that, ok most evans aren't the best
Wat. Cut FTW

• #22870
I'm with the Crane. I reckon I must've dropped into the Cut about 20 times over the past 3 years or so and only met one numpty (who I now avoid). Maybe that's where they put all the good Evans employees. Having said that, there is a decent guy who works at London Bridge who has gone a fair way to help me out a few times.

Will do... tough call though(t).

@arantrek haha who's the numpty? im begging you to tell me its a balding hungarian

6'5"
For a lugged track bike with the correct amount of seatpost/saddle to bar drop I believe it would need to be that big.

Yeah very, thought you may come across something though as you're always on eBay and stuff. Thanks mate
-
• #22875
6'5 you must be even more out of proportion than me, i can fit on 60 with not a massive saddle/bar drop
Nice frame, totally anti-porn build
