Few new additions here still have to rattlecan the front wheel

This is nearly done now. I need to sort out the rear wheel situation, and get a nicer chainring, but that's about it!

Really like that, simple and pretty intense to ride I imagine.Love the simplistic cockpit too. Any more pics?

.

Which cogs are OK for vintage campag track hubs?

So far I have tried EAI and Phil - the difference being that the EAI is about 0.5mm wider than the Phil, meaning I get less lockring threads...

I guess I need a 19t Phil - anyone selling a used one? Or any recommendations on narrower cogs that will allow me to have 'access' to more lockring threads?

This is pretty much done now, although I think I'll need a shorter stem to allay my back problems/secure my entrance into the T-Rex Brotherhood...

Looks good, maybe compact drops would solve your back problem but still allow a decent length stem?

I really like that chainring, what is it/where did you get it from?

Token do some like that .. decent and cheap, the logos can be rubbed off afaik, but I just rattlecanned mine: http://www.pedalroom.com/p/dodici-gara-6168_37.jpg

The bars are pretty shallow already, but it's worth keeping in mind, good point. Will buy a cheap stem from ebay or something and if that doesn't fix it might have to go for something super compact.

@boredom its a one23 chainring, cheapest i could find as i needed to finish the build but am not decided on what size ring i want to run.

@Tester, I'm not sure Ideally i would get a clincher track disc, but might settle for some Raltech wheel covers.

@jambon yeah its definitely intense to ride! I rode it for the first time last night for Hacksaws Challenge (race from Bristol to Bath and back.) ended up crashing it off of a mini roundabout right before the finish!

and still won

one23

Surprised I failed to spot that, considering that I have one on the lo pro at the moment.

@boredom:
Do you want it? 48T×⅛"×144mm PCD, used for one 10 mile TT, I have other plans for the MG event next year so I'm going to put the 49T back on.

Get my bright orange Principia RSL back from Vaidas on Monday.
Had the frame sitting around for about a year. Looking forward to finally riding it.

No, I have 48s for days, looking for different sizes, thanks though!

ok, guys I need advice. So a friend is selling his Commencal Uptown 29(wih gears) due injury for 215 pounds(I think it's a real deal) I would go for it, but what mudguards would it take because on the fork mudguard fixing point is half the way up on leg?

Any full fender should work, just bend the stay.

Oooft, details?

This is nearly done now.

That's an pretty nice frameset. Is the fork Argos? It looks fast and fun with that rear wheel.

Gaston im having those cranks if you ever sell them*

*Price depending obviously ;-)

I have all the full Zeus track group (except the stem and pedals) but I lost my headset damed!!! ... and sorry I keep it

The bike is finiched yet
I make pictures tomorrow (if the weather is nice)

I have been fixing up a tiny 50cm 1990 Raleigh Team Banana this weekend.

Started here:

After a clean:

To finish like this:

Hi this is my actually Italian classic stable (in progress).
