Dave Russell track

So here we are, a new project, and as this is my first that I am starting from just frame + fork I thought it would nice for you guys/and girls to follow the process.

First DoKtor P transformed this old TT frame and Gazelle Track Fork

a la nitromors

...

Clearcoated raw to what was his build

I got

then later that day I picked these up

Which resulted in this

Which has now become this

And ive snagged this so that my forks don't wobble ;)

All that I need now is a Silver Seat post and Im sorted. Anyone wanna buy a syncros?

Pretty nice, not that you can go too wrong with such a nice frame. What's the bike going to be used for, bumming around or track action?
I would get some spokes for the front wheel mind.

Nah, i relaced it with magnets - new technology, supposed to give a smooth ride.
For now its gonna be my nice sunny day bike and then hopefully will use it later this year for the interschools national track championships

What was quick, well done!
I must say I'm a bit jealous of that wheelset. Just need to get myself 32h Dura Ace hubs, and i'll have very similar one.

Hope you enjoy the bike!

Lets face it. Not enough spockx

For me or for veigalane?

Lets face it. Not enough spockx

The less spokes, the cooler the spok, is what I thought.

His has zero spokes, i.e. maximum cool.

I meant novelty carbon wheels

By the way, Ben, I've got more picture of a frame and fork before and being striped, if you want them on here.

well if someone is up to selling me a clincher 4 spoke cough malaysian.

Its a great looking frame, and lovely wheels too.

Thanks when I saw them both for sale I knew that they had to meet

Boom! mystery wheel set turned out to be lush

Is it a 27.2?
What happened to the Ti one?

yes, frame takes 27.2.

Jezus.. You too?! Anybody any suggestions for abbrevations of my "name" because it seems to be in fashion around here and I'm susceptive to trendzzz..

Actually liked your name, always had me wondering what it meant and how to pronounce it..

veiga-lane
Its my surname I'm half brazillian and half russian

The ti one sold on ebay not too long ago.
This one is too short for my use, you like tenderloin? :P

oh and even though i sold the ti one for an amazing price I'm gutted I diddnt use it for this project now :(

do you speak any russian?

Well, frame went from one half russian to another half russian.

Sadly not, should have chosen it for gcse though, I'm sick of german :P

This one is too short for my use, you like tenderloin? :P

Yep I'll take it.

I went to russian school instead, and learned english as my foreign language. Back then it was still USSR.
