Track Frame Project, maybe a Rourke? (it is a Rourke)

Gonna try that and some fine wire wool

Wire wool will be too scratchy I think!

I've only ever used it with a soft rag, anything abrasive like wire wool just creates more grooves ime

.

wire wool before! the scratches are pretty deep!

Small update!

Headset was fitted on Saturday.

Spent some time cleaning up the seatpost at the weekend.

Looks good but had to be carful with the logo as it's really close to be polished out!

Before and after shots.

Bought these for the cranks so now just need campy dust covers.

Would it be bad to put SPDS on the bike?

Wrapped the bars prematurely because I was excited.

What tape is that?

Looks like this

Sweet cheers

I really need some rims for this build.

36hole 700c laced to campy pista hubs help me get this finished!

If you're not fused about them being period tb14 are a solid rim

Maybe but I'd prefer a pair of ma40s I think.

I'm just not sure what would look good black or silver shallow or deep.

I guess I'm just hoping for a lucky deal.

Hplus sons are pricey!

There's a lot of silver on the frame and parts so I reckon dark coloured rims could maybe balance it out a bit

Totally agree.

Guess I'll just have to go brakes so the rims don't look shit!

Silver rims and black spokes will look fantastic imo

Finally got the set of rims I want in the condition I want.

Can't wait to build them up!

Damn, I wish I had a set of mint ma40's. The front one on my set has brake wear 😔. Really cool project, been lurking for a while.

It's finished!

I'll take better pics later!
