that all looks very #Foffa

Current projects forum is that way >>>

Get a black ITM eclipse quill stem, with Black Deda Piega bars.

Goupset wise; I'm going to break from the mold and suggest a 7800 groupset with 7900 STI Levers.
Modern shifting is the business, but 7800 looks the best (and is quite lightweight too, if that matters?).

Gosh, no! It's the only purple IN THE WHOLE WORLD like this...

Have you got an approximate weight for this, as built? I know it's not at all intended to be weenie, but I'm still interested!

Oh, god no!
Please, this frame is MUCH too nice to be subject to the @skrtluv treatment.
Pass this one on to someone who won't bastardise it?

^ Chain's on backwards. That aside, that's not a track crank so would not be suitable for this build.

I understand the stem to be a Cinelli #2 - they were common from about 1950-1960... period correct would be an early version of a 2a alloy stem.
I think that older Pista cranks (period correct versions) would suit the frame better, but I understand the desire to go for the more modern variant.
Lovely build!

Hey mate, great collection!
I've lost out to you on quite a few TradeMe auctions!

Do you have any frames / bikes that you have bought that you don't intend to keep or display? I've a hankering for some early carbon!

Depends how you're measuring... if measured horizontally from tire to ST then that is near perfect. If measured perpendicularly from tire to ST then there is a difference.
The point being that if the wheel is slammed to the ST (if possible with dropout length & tire size combo) then the tire will be touching all the way around the curve.

Paging @nzkiddo
What did you ever do with your Blue Max track frame that you bought for the C-Rec. parts?

It must be coming in to Autumn / Winter in Canada too right now... BAR CHANGE TIME!

Prep yourself for the anti homophobia shit storm!

Also, don't be such a homophobic twat.

Can I put in a request for a "Kiddo's bikes" type thread showcasing your stable? Also, are your bikes typically all rideable or do they share components amongst them?

My 2c on BB shell width... it is possible that it was once BSA threaded, but the threads were stripped. If that happens it is fairly common to hone out the BB shell and re-tap with Italian threads - I have a Holdsworth with this exact BB shell config.

All hail, the king of slaves!

Does Pat still own that Bauer?
I need to come up and go for a ride - when's the track sessions on up there?

It turns out that, following the Cannondale write-off, a lot of the components were more damage than initially realised. Primarily... the chainset is wavy, causing a lot of slipping in the gears, and so I need to look out for a replacement asap

I think that you should go back to something a little more sympathetic to the (est.) age of the frame... 6400 Tricolour!
Pretty cheap to be had, and plenty about. Beautiful components too. Keep the 9sp shifters & cassette mind - just go for chainset, brakes, and derailleurs.
My 2c

My God!
That chainring / cog combo! That's some serious GI to be pushing... assuming that this might get ridden at some point?

^^^^ He's on the hunt for a suitable front wheel to finish the build.

Human appreciation, like appreciating the way a male or female looks / sounds / acts / uses their intellect etc. I used the word human so as not to specifically identify either sex.
I don't know, maybe where I live attitudes in general differ from those in UK.
I just asked because i don't want the ban hammer to come down on me for something I think might be perfectly reasonable.
