  Good spot! Yes, first time out on it on Saturday.

  Cranks have arrived, nothing fancy just Miche Primato, running 49x15.

  Almost wish more parts were delayed since I now have a complete bike but no open velodromes.

  I've got a couple of wheel boxes if anyone wants them.
  One tatty box (73 x 73 x 31cm) for a pair of wheels.
  One nice actual wheel box (67 x 67 x 17 cm) for a single wheel.
  In SW19.

  Wrapped the bars, finally found a T1800 rear wheel and fitted the some 23c corsas.

  Would have preferred to only wrap the drops for looks, but I'm pretty paranoid about the bars swinging round and denting the top tube, and a bit less sketchy riding on the tops for warm-ups etc.

  The tyre clearance is pretty tight at the back so I might end up switching the rear tyre for a 21c or 19c in the future, depends how much things flex. There's already some tyre rub back there from the previous owner(s).

  Has anyone got one?

  So finding a rear DT Swiss T 1800 wheel to match the front is proving pretty difficult. For some reason there's loads of fronts and full wheelsets, but no rears.

  Ordered a Miche Primato crankset in silver and picked up a 107 mm BB for it, only to find someone has put a 111 mm in the 107 mm box.

  Managed to find a second hand T1800 front wheel, and got a generic looking Fabric scoop flat saddle.

  Hello forumites,

  I managed to get a pretty special looking frame from @•Ⓣ• , with the intention of building up a track bike since I now live within riding distance of a velodrome (Herne Hill).

  There's some much better photos of the frame on the classifieds post and some more info.

  

  Still not sure on what exactly it is apart from a columbus stamp on the dropouts, a few small Plowman Craven stickers and a Ciclos Uno paint job.

  Planning to build it up fairly classy but with a modern wheelset. Don't want to get too crazy with the parts as I'd rather race it than get too precious about it. Current build as it stands:

  Frame/forks: ???
  Headset: Campagnolo Chorus
  Stem: Nitto NTC-150 100mm
  Bars: Nitto B123 Cro-mo 40cm
  Seatpost: Nitto S65

  Might swap the bars to something shallower in the future. The drops are almost 10cm lower than I'm used to on the road bike.

  

  Dream build if budget allows:

  Cranks: Sugino 75s (silver)
  Wheelset: DT Swiss T 1800
  Tyres: Vittoria Corsas clinchers
