50x15 is about 10GI more than what i run :)
but i suppose thats alright for track. Why 165's though? surely bigger gear, longer cranks

Pain to stop without using the brake? But that's a singlespeed is it not? If it's fixed then you 101% need a lockring but where's the thread!? :-$
Looks and sounds very strange

dura ace hubs, the chain must be hiding the lockring thread

I'm hitting NY next week - I'll try to re-create the shot

Im a little confused with this, ill post some better pics up shortly

Built this last night thanks to Dr Chan for the frame and sorry to voidcore as it's very similar to his (not intentional) I need to get some black spacers and a chunkier chain. This will be my 'knocking around' and polo bike.

nice build
i need to get pics of mine up
similar to yours except shite cranks and a pair of black handsomedogs

you will need another front wheel for polo ;)

my next build

Nice frame Russ.

monviso

Nice. I nearly bought one back in 1998 but ended up going for a Paris in the end. Lovely frame, very solid but light.

What do you plan to do with it?

get track drop outs welded in and run as a single speed

i may have just wet myself
brb

i was joking

Lovely. Needs some straight forks though. Doesn't look quite right with the current ones.

yeah but corbon wont look right and it will be a bastard to colour match alu forks

A preliminary build of my Kingston... finally. New front wheel almost finished, new tyres to come as well as a few more bits and bobs. Just happy to have it rolling at last!

Looks a lot like my shorter build sans the bars.

A few months away via C2W, but starting to think about upgrades from the stock components.... not familiar with Ritchey gear - any opinions on what i should swap out?

I'd start with the frame as when i worked in Halfords every single Boardman road frame i got hold of was a good 15-30mm out of alignment in the rear triangle.

Except his was built buy the same guy who built/builds Rotrax frames. ;)

just bought this to exchange for the diamant for £120. It's apparently a Peugeot

does it look authentic or like a conversion?

531 ftw!

what's the fascination with 531, i know it's nice and all but it's been superceded by better stuff.

531 wtf.

Really? When did you work there?
