Hillman SLX Track.

Rooster · August 28, 2011, 5:19pm

Well, here it is. Finished building up my Hillman all ready for the track and I must say, I fucking love it! I bought the frame off a forum member a couple of months ago and then just slowly pieced it together. It’s pretty much my dream track bike and I really couldn’t be happier with it. Now just to get down to the track! But now for the important part…photos:

I fucking love it too. Except for the red pedals…and the stick.

Rooster · August 28, 2011, 6:20pm

Haha! Yeah, I was hoping the pedals would grow on me…they haven’t so far. And the stick was less than ideal but I forgot my bloody stand and had to make do with what nature provided me.

Dan & Jase…cheers!

Stunner. Actually don’t mind the red pedals either - look like a deliberate detail attention.

HLC · August 28, 2011, 6:23pm

jontay · August 28, 2011, 6:27pm

amazing! where did you find the chainring!!! i’m trying to find one … so so hard sigh

Rooster · August 28, 2011, 6:33pm

I scored it off eBay. I guess I got lucky. I’d probably just keep an eye on eBay. I saw a few come and go while I was looking for this one.

Quality stuff.
I’m not a fan of the colours, but some coloured tape and shit’d fix that up.

SanEsteban · August 28, 2011, 8:50pm

Hot bike. The records are really nice tyres… are you using them outdoor/on the street though?

Rooster · August 28, 2011, 10:15pm

They’ll be used on an outdoor velodrome for Sunday training sessions but other than that, they’ll only be used indoor at DISC.

bumnut · August 28, 2011, 10:16pm

oooh yeah this is nice. Those forks are crazy straight n tight! Melboure bike in Melbourne team colours.

Don’t waste them outdoors. Use road tyres for concrete tracks.
