Should be hiding somewhere in here I reckon:

Then again I like how it looks, it's rare and I'd gladly just hang it on the wall and enjoy admiring it the years to come..

it's certainly nice to look at hence wouldn't mind keeping it on the wall...

Just out of curiosity is the seatpost size 27.2 or 27.0 ?

Have a free bump because of crazy good price!

While on the subject of 1980s paint jobs, here's my recently purchased Super Pista. It is most likely from early to mid 1970s but appears to be refinished in the 1980s. Apparently this used to be Italian pro track & road racer Adriano Baffi's bike, donated by him as a complete bike to some benefit auction in Italy from which it was bought by the previous owner.

Readers wives etc., from freezing Helsinki again, my new Traitor Crusade. This was in fact a warranty replacement after the top tube cracked in the first generation version I had. Waited almost 9 months for the frame but it's a nice upgrade from the previous version with discs and 44mm headtube.

I'm no expert but this looks bit like an older Merlin Extralight CX frame, the welds at the dropouts, the rear brake brigde and the seatbolt. Google for images to compare.

^ front wheel size is 650B with 2.3" tyre on it. My mtb wheel on Jukka's bike. I think the fork is some Salsa fork.

^^mate, mile long seat posts are so slave.

Seatpost probably won't go any further in anyway because Robert forgot to have his slaves ream the seat tube.

Phil Wood makes couple of different sized Bolt Caps which, at least in theory, enable you to change the hub spacing within certain limits. Google is your friend.

Aren't all of the Mielecs just cheap ripoffs? Doesn't seem to make much difference which sad fake decals one plasters on the frame.

Looks odd; rear clearance is super tight with loads of room in the dropouts, braze marks all over the place, and a non matching fork.

The Rossin there was originally a 58cm sized frame, and without its original fork.

The seat tube broke off at the BB after several years of riding in the streets. The broken frame was given to its current owner who, being quite skilled at working metal, took it apart and re-sized it about 6cm smaller for himself as an experiment.

Rossin track frames are not that rare anyway. They are very nice for sure, I have one and I recently sold another one.

Anyway, taking into account the parts and considering the very bad condition of paint I'd say 350€ + shipping is a reasonable price for this.

that guys collection is insane:

When money is not a problem, the saddle angle is.

that fork should be rescued from the rest of the bike.

This "unridden modified TREK 69er SS" just happens to be for sale.

Any thoughts on this? Looks like crap but costs next to nothing on 'bay:

You're supposed to use that rack with canti-brakes only obviously. Just attach the rack on studs with the same bolts as the cantis and the prong into the road caliper hole which your fork should have too. If it doesn't then too bad.

(sorry, was posted above already)

Saw this already? To be paid in goldnuggets.

Rad to the power of HHSB!

Also, I know Miglos can organize a nice Zipp/AmericanClassicTi carbon deep dish 650 front wheel with this for an extra 90€.

you used those pedals on a velodrome?

^ not mine. I do have a TK3 as my proper velodrome track bike, though.

Felt TK2 56cm complete bike with Sugino 75s and all, one hour left and still very cheap...

This is one of the NOS Rossin frames a bike shop in Turku Finland found in some warehouse. They apparently then decided to build this one up to be sold as a trendy singlespeed bike, as seen in the photo. And it was sold pretty quickly.
