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:

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.

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.

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

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

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