Addition to the Hillman family

Bought off a guy from work. Probably the lightest bike I’ve ever built/ridden.


something is stirring in my pants. I still love that chrome / celeste combo :slight_smile:

Keep your boner away from my bicycle man!

Nice build powdah. I like it how it says ‘Pista’

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the meaning behind the red and yellow stickers on the Deep-V’s?

Riser bars with polished parts are a dime a dozen , yawn , this bike is an upgrade of your last bike ,the upgrade being the frame . Lets all have a swap meet and change frames for the day so we can show them as our new rides. Also ,what does the rainbow sticker on the wheel represent ? touche

pwned.

As opposed to…

Campag pista 165 cranks ,record BB, FIXOMATOSIS Brev chainring , Superbe pedals with campag clips and Italian no name straps. Izumi chain.
Superbe pro Hubs with bladed spokes laced to Campag Omega rims and fitted with Continental Grand Prix supersonic tires.
Nitto seatpost and Rolls seat.
3TTT Stem , Nitto B123 bars, Origin 8 grips , Campag record Headset.

You can’t throw stones until you move out of that glass house :evil:

The point I was was making was, people in glass houses . You guys were to quick off the mark and I was about to post that I think it is a great build and have never knocked another persons ride and never would . The point of forums like this is for constructive criticisum and not to hang shit on peoples post ,be it in jest or not .

Words to live by. Back to it…

powdah have you scratched the paint yet? Other one i saw like this scratched easssy…

Manbau: It’s not that I don’t appreciate vintage style track bikes with nice parts in some form, I just find the classic look kinda boring so I said so.
Don’t expect every post here to be serious, positive or constructive and if you don’t take it personally it’s fine.

I’m gay but the rainbow sticker has nothing to do with that.

Spud: Yeah the paintwork is chipped up pretty bad. I had it resting up against a wooden gate a few days back and paint came off :frowning:

It’s looks nice.

I’m into it.

I used to hate risers on fixed gears, until I tried riding with them…

This. Makes it a totally different bike to a tarck bike.

What makes a bike a TARCK bike?

Risers? Guilty…

Aerospoke? Guilty…

nice ponies but high seats!!! is that for the photo ? are the bikes small and you tall for nimbleness or vice versa?

lol no i mean one with drop bars and a 90something gear

I prefer drops, I haven’t tried risers so my opinion is invalid :smiley:
I just like to buckle down like on royal parade the other day and race cars at the lights.

I’m/have a gay hillman too. If i was ever to have the misfortune of having an aerospoke on my bike, it would def be covered in rainbows.

…but then when the rainbow aerospoke spins the colours will blend together then it would look brown… kinda like a potato I guess.

No, I was thinking hundreds of mini rainbows
