Managed to pick this up yesterday at a good price.
Frame: Ken Evans Track - Columbus SLX (Can anyone provide more info about the frame?) Headset:Campagnolo Record Cranks: Campagnolo Pista, Shimano BB Bars / Stem: ITM Carbon Drops, Ritchey Complite Stem Rear Wheelset: Shimano DuraAce with Sugino Cog. Rigida rim. Front Wheel: Campagnolo Record on Mavic Saddle / Seat Post: Kalloy post with San Marco Hi-comfort Gel saddle
Spares:
Campagnolo Record Pista hub on Wolber
Campagnolo C-Record ‘Sheriff Star’ hub on a Mavic
Whats next:
I plan on taking of the Colnago stickers and replacing them with Ken Evans stickers.
I also plan with on changing the bar tape and maybe the saddle to something else.
What I need:
Pedals. Anyone have some suitable pedals and straps for sale in melbourne? MKS or similar.
Stickers. Anyone know where i can get suitable ken evans stickers?
Noob Questions:
The tires are all glued to the rims. What can i use to detach them. And what tires are more suitable for mild street use.
the tyres are glued on cos theyre tubulars. you can’t use normal clincher tyres. i suggest (as will others no doubt) that if you stick with tubulars you should get gatorskins. not that ive ever had tubulars, just going on what i hear. if you want to run normal clinchers you will have to get new rims.
if it was me, i’d change the bars and stem too. get something a little more classic.
pedals and straps from kookie, or the for sale thread.
It might just be the angle of the photo but there doesn’t seem to be much of a gap in the seat post clamp, you might want to check that the post is the right diameter.
