From Track Champ to Parallax

Posted on
  • Don't know if this deservers a separate thread, but here goes:

    Wanted to try fixed again, so bought a Track Champ and threw it together with parts I had laying around:

    It was okay, but I wanted something else, and a bit nicer. Got my hands on a Cinelli Parallax 2015, in black

    Next was wheels. I've always wanted to try a couple of Dura Ace 7600 hubs (best looking hubs out there). Ordered a set. Still waiting on the front-hub, due to backorder though.

    Then a friend texted. He had a couple of Suzue Pro Max carbon hubs and some Araya CT-19N lying around. Of I went, and now they're mine...!


    Probably gonna lace these with some DT Rev spokes and brass nipples

    Chainset-wise I had a MOST lying around. Basically, a rebranded Miche chainset.
    50t chainring, and Miche BB.
    This will probably be changed to something nicer, when it wears out or I get an offer I can't refuse!

    Next step is lacing the wheels, and figuring out cockpit and seatpost. Safe-choice is Thomson, but a bit to easy. Maybe Zipp, and I think I have a Fizik saddle somewhere. Any ideas?

  • Maaaate, loving this already. That new parallax is the mutt's, I'd def buy one if I could justify it. Subscribed.

  • Going to look sick! Love the Parallax, it rides like a dream, but unfortunately having to get rid of mine due to wanting a new roadie :( Will be following this

  • Man! Those Suzue hubs! Would love those!

  • Found a saddle and made this weird quick mock-up...

    Not sure on those cranks anymore!


  • Nice! With those rims I would think about a silver crankset, and Zipp seatpost, stem and bars are always a safe choice ;)

  • This is off to a great start, will be following.

  • black frame looks sick

  • Looks awesome. Rims go really nicely, agree about silver cranks!

  • Looks awesome..! As breso said, I think silver cranks could look pretty nice, and maybe zipp beyond black parts just to top it off.

  • Oh man those hubs. The best.

  • It's decided then. Silver cranks, and probably black/grey chainring.. Thinking DA 7600 here, any other suggestions?

    Anyone wanna buy a Most chainset and some Dura Ace hubs? ;-)

  • +1 Dura ace cranks. Silver omniums come with grey ring too

  • How is the progress, when the final build will be up for check-outs? :)

    P.S. Whats your Miche BB axle length?

  • How much for the most chainset?
