The Big Pink

So i've just ruined my January scrimping by buying this as a reward for not drinking for 2 weeks and doing 500 miles in said time. I was meant to wait until the end of the month and 1000 miles, but it was PINK!

I have some Suntour superbe pro NJS track cranks with a Campag ring to go on. Some Dura Ace high flange track hubs laced to Wolber 20 rims and a Cinelli XA stem to go on there.

Those are the nice bits. Current plan is to put some old road bars i have lying around and a nasty seatpost/ saddle combo until i have the cash to upgrade.

I'll be looking for a nice seatpost, possibly a Miche supertype? Possibly a track cockpit. I'm also welcome to suggestions on front brakes, i'm thing a 600 ultegra in gunmetal grey would look nice against the frame and rims, opinions? Cross top lever, or hoods and road levers?

This is my first proper project so any input is welcomed.

I'll post up some pics of the frame and bits once it arrives

Bastard! I was hoping that'd still be around on payday and would have been mine.

Congrats on the TeeTotal/500miles though.

Look forward to seeing it built.

Ok, maybe something more classic. Dura ace 7400/7410? Either way it'll have to wait til payday. Maybe i can reward myself with every 500 miles done or fortnight of not drinking.

I'll be looking for a seatpost that's not made of cheese,or a Miche supertype?

Ftfy.

What seatpost diameter does it require? Is the fork drilled for forks or pure track?

Awesome frame, I am sure many tall people want it :D

Yeah I looked at that, it looks bloody lovely!

I never did get around to posting pics of this, but here's one i took in the sunshine at the top of the brickworks just outside manchester today http://i47.tinypic.com/35bfuoi.jpg
