  Sounds like I am going to try and stay away from cotterd crank.

  From what I can tell, it looks best to try and use replica parts, rather than actual old parts, what you think?

  Would really like to use all british parts, but could use anything if it look good on the bike.
  Dont have a fixed budget, but would like to do it up in £300/£400.

  Hi guys,

  So first time I have created a new thread but here goes.

  I recently got my hands on a british track frame from the 70's, and well I want to do it up with vintage parts.
  I want to know if anyone can compare a vintage crank set to a new one?

  The reason I am asking this is because recently I got to ride a friends Nagasawa with all NJS parts, it was a really really smooth ride. I want to know if I am going to be able to get that smooth a ride of Vintage crank set?
  When I am talking about the smoothness of the ride, I am guessing I am talking about weather the bottom bracket and crank are perfectly circular or not.

  Im really don't know much about this stuff, and would love some input, I love doing bikes up but have always used new parts for bottom bracket and crank etc.

  I guess what I am really asking is it possible to get a really nice ride out of vintage parts.

  I am sure iv done many things wrong in this thread, so if so please feel free to have a rant, and ill try and do better next time.
