I love the colour of this bike. It's so clean too.
Can I make a suggestion, and please don't be offended, have you thought of running a bigger chainring and matching out the gear with a larger rear sprocket?
Personally I think it would look more aesthetically pleasing with a big chainring.
I put a drilled 54 on my Aende and swapped out the block to suit so I could still push the gears.
Just my opinion mind.
Keep up the nice work

Thanks :-)
Its all good, I haven't taken offence but my knees have ha. I've got a 16t campag cog on the mavic wheels and a 15t steel campag cog on the Khamsin. When I was riding daily I had it running at 49x15 but then I stopped riding due to knee pain when off the bike. Other than for photos I wouldn't run anything bigger and I think aesthetically it would be way too shouty to run anything bigger than a 52.Speaking of chainring, I've always wanted a pantographed Cliff Shrubb chainring for this but struggled to find a track chainring without the cut out like this one -

Coronation Virus Quarantine Update -
Stuck indoors for the foreseeable future, heres a list of stuff I wanna upgrade or do to this. Mario Vaz is currently painting an argos fork in benotto gold so looking forward to when that is finished to install on this.
Maybe also thinking to change the fluted seatpost to an aero one and also fit a Turbomatic 2 saddle as the Volare will need a new skin of fabric soon. I would love one of those ridic plastic aero saddle things that idiots sell for way too much on the internet, for this but prob not gonna happen.
Anyone wanna chip in some thoughts/opinions?
