Unknown vintage track frame (prob Jaap van der Bergh) restoration

White lug lining would look the sehx!

^could be nice when done perfectly. But I think 'clean' would also look very nice!

btw; you lucky bastard! Find a frame like this then have it resprayed very nicely for free. Jealous.

You've done an amazing job real transformation

that is lovely...

I was thinking of doing a black lining, but maybe the frame color is too dark for that... And although i draw a fair bit, i'm a little scared of lining the lugs myself.

BTW i'm getting my wheel laced next week (36H Miche Primato on Rigida DP18) but i don't know if i wanna go radial or cross... The rear is a 32H Miche on DP18, so: 2 cross wheels for teh epic matchingzz or front radial ('cause it looks teh sexz)?

radial would be cool.

But cross is more original.

Friend of mine had to give a classic Volvo a new paint job on saturday

Nice!

Finished the bike yesterday, had a test ride this afternoon with a mate in the sun (!) (loving this global warming thing a lot right now), had a very decent Yirgacheffe doppio and made some pictures, GOOD shit... (time i could have spent well on my master thesis as well but feck it)

Some detailshots for the clickingz:

Looking damn good! Instant classic.

^ what wiener says, turned out well nice!

maybe some shellac on the bartape as a finishing touch

Thanks.
Will definitely look into the shellac, hadn't thought of that.

beautiful build

Very nice. I prefer the drops fwiw.

Lovely!!

Lovely build! With bulls aswell as with drops, really jealous :(

nice. just needs an aerospoke

Lol^

stunning!
im so jealous ive been doing the opposite of you and writing essays rather than building my bike...
i think i need to take a leaf out of your book

Quite possibly one of the best looking bikes I've ever seen. Truly beautiful.

What a transformation, fantastic job.

What did you use to sand it by the way?
