god, i hate to think what you're going to do to a nice vintage holdsworth track frame.

well, im off tomorrow morning to get it coated (probably sky blue metallic), I'm just annoyed you cant get rear aerospokes in 110mm... some pink ones would look awesome... ive also got my eye on some sweet purple anno drops.

The perhaps airlite is pretty badly corroded, so its hard to make out markings. I'll clean it up and try find some.

cheers winston, i did see those- but i thought they looked a bit cheapy.
They working for you?

....they sortof look like the joytech hubs; anyone recon i could get either and they'd still space down?

I have one of these that came with the frame- but to be honest its pretty scary looking, and it rattles about in the dropouts (would need some spacing out). I guess id need to give it a refurb as it looks and feels disgusting right now...i was hoping there would be an easier + new option...

So, I have searched for this, and found a sortof answer; but nothing satisfactory.
I've just acquired an old holdsworth track frame, and am looking to get new wheels built for it.
The ends are 110mm at the moment; and i dont really want to cold set them to 120.
I need a 110 rear hub; apparently dia compe gran compes come in 110mm; but they are proving a pain in the arse to find in the uk; esp in black.

so; can someone either tell me of a decent hub that can be respaced down (that isnt in the DA / phil price range)? or of a place where i can get me some 110mm Dia compes in the UK.

thanks in advance fo any help...

True, ill give the clearcoat a go.
Any suggested types/brands? Ive got a couple of cans of halfords clear lacquer knocking around; will they do?

I guess that sounds doable, though i dunno if id trust myself to do it. I guess powdercoating isnt really meant for that sorta job anyway, so i might just give the transfers a miss.
cheers.

So, first off, I apologize, I've been lurking for a while...

Just bought my first track frame off ebay (but been riding a conversion for almost 18 months), and it VERY much needs a respray.
I took my last frame to Vaz, and needless to say wont be making that mistake again.
Heard good things about Armourex powdercoating in hackney; has anyone had experience with using transfers + powdercoating?
I've heard you can get a clearcoat over the powdercoat; would it be possible therefore to apply transfers onto the powdercoat, then clearcoat over the top?

Im looking at some holdsworth waterslide-style transfers; but wont bother getting them if it seems to much hassle.

Cheers in advance for any imparted knowledge...
