thought i’d post up some shots of my old track bike that i’ve been riding on the streets of melbourne for the past yearish.
To get it to it’s current state;i relaced the wheels, repacked the hubs and bb, polished up a black seatpost, drilled the forks (gasp!), wiggled a front brake, found some white levers on the bay, retaped the bars, fit a longer headstem, replaced the chain and fit some hot white tyres.
I’m pretty happy with how it’s riding at the moment, though the headset needs replacing and zaffiro pros aren’t the fastest tyres.
Details for those with a gear fetish:
Frame: Robert Kypriotis - reynolds 531 with campag drop outs
Wheels: Dura ace high flange ?1977/ Velocity aero/ DT competition
Drivechain: Sugino looseball BB/ mighty cranks
Brakes: 105 aero levers/tiagra caliper
Cockpit: Cinelli stem/cinelli criterium bars
Seat: Selle italia concor?
That’s a nice pony. Where does Kypo originate from?
It looks like the left brake lever is a dummy, apparently you can get a part usually used on BMX’s to hook up both levers to one brake…I’m planning to do this in the near future.
