Razesa Track Frame, Batavus Professional, Surly Steamroller, Vintage Unknown Ratbike

What crankset in your opinion would be better suited in matching the look of the chromix?

The Chromix is back off, the Jag back on, just can't get on with those Nitto risers, just a horrible shape and width. Currently shopping for a suitable riser, preferably Easton, for the Chromix. However I was think Campag C Record Pista third gen? Maybe not as polished as this:

But you get the gist. The Chromix is very shiny.

I agree that the chromix is very shiny! I use a pair of GB all rounder handlebars, Good rise and sweep. I find them to be quite comfortable and yeah the campag crank should look spot on I think!

Yeah as long as I can find one. Prestty much made up my mind to go for a full restore on the bike now. So may cycle up to Argos one lunch hour and talk through some options. Also Razesa still exists, so using my fluent Spanish-speaking housemate am going to email them to see if I can find out some of the history of the frame. If I can find out when the frame was built then I can start to source period-correct parts for it, and correct decals, like these:

Be nice to know what the bike looked like originally, whether is was a one-off custom job or more were produced.

Got a few things coming, decided to go Japanese rather than Campy so some Sugs 75s and ring and a Nitto s65 seatpost en route, hopefully in time to build it up. Also a black Romin, will post pics when I have them as it means the bike isn't wearing a load of borrowed parts. Full paint restoration still in my thinking.

That was very much my thinking, but I didn't have the cash to go through with it

Well it's going to be funded by the annual bonus methinks. May take it along to Argos for them to have look. Considering sparkly black but with a contrasting colour on the seat-cluster lug, most probably white.

Some shiny new bits to go on the bike! Gonna be the last for a while as I have a sick pupper and the vet's bills are going to be big

Pic of the bike with new parts, have relaxed the saddle angle since but the weather is shite and I'm too busy with a sick pupper to take another photo. Love the new bits on it, esp the Sugs. A Zen ring is in my thinking, but looks fantastic as it. Haven't had much chance to ride it though.

Hmm

Looking good, love the crank. Needs these though Here/

You need these then dust caps

You need these then dust caps

Mismatching fonts though. :/

Ooh you are right I do

Ooh YOU are right, damn

Romin is still very nose high, the tip is meant to be slightly down, mid section flap and back up a bit.

I like my saddles like that, else I get wrist ache. Actually I prefer the earlier angle tbh.
