shhh! I want it!

The clear decals with the white letters would look good on a light coloured frame without the chrome forks. Then maybe the ones with the shiny chrome background with a frame with chrome forks.

these decals are mainly used on more modern frames I think

Its probably not worth the time to try and make your own decals unless your really good with photoshop and illustrator etc. there are plenty available to order online of good standard.
What size seatpost does your frame take? Is it light? the details make me think its of a higher build quality.

Spotted fixie rider bike in tufnell park just now, das'ed even though you were at the lights. Real nice frame dude!

Also what decals are you going to use?

According to the catalogues they depend on which model/year it is, I think the main colours are red or blue with chrome forks.
In the Zeus 101 catalogue the frame is red with yellow lug details. There is no specific page for the frames though.
In the 102 catalogue it says for the 531 track frame it is available in Apricot, white, grey, blue, green, orange and red.
I think you could choose any colour really apart from black for it to be period correct. If yours was the older version with the different dropouts it would have to be a purely gloss paint job, not metallic. Ive attached some of the frames Ive saved. This one is my fav

What colour do you think you will go for?

Im hoping to have one medium blue metallic Zeus frame, one dark red metallic Razesa frame and a flouro Zeus/Razesa lo-pro.

I've got this frame below on the way to me as we speak, it sports the Martinez Heredia colours, It is the name of a shop in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid. Its the family name of two spanish riders and the name of their shop in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid. According to the person who sold it to me they bought large volumes of track frames, repainted them and used them to teach people how to ride in the velodrome etc.

They ran out 'due to an unexpectedly sudden demand'. Good things come to those who wait eh

Just been emailed sayin there is no more track 'fixxers' which is super annoying.

I think this is one of the few rasta frames that looks decent imo. All black parts would look gooood. Shame its not tarck though. Anyways, conversion thread>>>>>

I think coloured bartape could deff look good, my eyes seem to agree with the pink version rather than the black saddle/tape.

I just realised the one im after is on 8pilgrim8. Kal, Im deff up for getting one from there in the near future. Will pm ya soon

Kinda want that 3rensho chainring bag... but just realised how expensive it is.

Would ordering two frames make it possibly cheaper? in terms of postage and customs
Might be able to afford one of the cheap ones in a month or so if your up for going halves?

It flexes slightly when pressed in but that would happen with spoked wheels. Would need to put an inner tube in and pump it up to test the radial strength? sorry don't know the technical term.
Theres not much info on the wheels on the net really. It feels light but also quite solid. If I avoid the big whip skids I think everything will be alright.

Aero dreads... hahahaha
Repped!

Thanks for the help guys, I'm sorted then. Quick progress for once!

Dismantled the freehub and gave it a quick clean while this was playing.

Tm, you get first dibs if I sell it. I'll sort you out a good price for it.

The wheel makes a pinging noise like those african drums I used to use in primary school.

'Fixxer' will be ordered on payday next week so should hopefully have the wheel running for 'The Wards of the City of London Ride' http://www.lfgss.com/thread120762-2.html#post4099956

In terms of ordering the 'Fixxer', what would I need to get? the road conversion kit or the track one? Seeing as its a road wheel going on a track frame.
And its a hollow axle, how do I work out what size axle I need to buy to use standard track nuts?

Yup it was, that seller of that frame never got back to me about the front.I got it for a decent price I think.. :-D
Im not a heavy skidder, prefer anticipating and using the 'force' to stop

Arrived just now!

String spokes...

Claiming first dibs if you even shot them ;-) would look hard on double disc lo-pro

Its a madness round 'ere, had a 5-0 helicopter follow me today from stokie all the way to tufnell...

Road clincher for 'mad skidz' but I'm gonna have to get one of them fixxer axle converter things and see if they hold up. I think if i stick with the contis it could look good, will see the actual shade when it arrives and decide whats good.

Maybe get some decals made for the disc sayin 'hip-hop don't stop' curving round the edge. Whatcha think?

Can someone organise a slave slide? k thanks.

Please someone do this. Last rides I've been on there was no discs, trispokes etc. and hardly any deep carbon. Was very disapointed :-(

Kevlar from what Ive read
Some good close ups on here
http://photo.qip.ru/users/shaxter-donetsk/200362016/202761955/#mainImageLink

D, that link is good. Do you speak spanish? theres some key bits of info regarding where it was built.
According to the Catalgue 101, in which the frame looks identical too, you would need the Zeus Gran Sport headset.

Terrible close up but there are scans somewhere online, I still havent got round to that.

JWestland - Ah tell me about it, I can't even believe Ive been this patient for so long. Its not going to be fully 'period correct' but all spanish apart from the stem and bars/tape. Should've got that Zeus stem on ebay recently but lacked the funds :-(

watch out for the dodgy music from that link though!!

Im not even sure what to say about the fork crown, it looks very different but I think they are original ones. Probably before the 2000 crown fork.
Im not sure really thought But I will get some photos of various different styles soon to show you. Ive attached some photos of which I think show the same fork on a apparently Zeus frame, no idea where I got them from though.

Pedals are quite easy to find but be careful of the french threading as It me a couple sets to match the cranks!

OMG check this place out, some nice catalog scans

Subbed. Im very excited for this, but think it needs a new lick of paint though!
Whats the size?
