saw that front tire clearance and my jaw dropped. but if youre gonna be racing that, you should go clipless

the old Dura Ace pedal/cleat system is a trackie favorite because there's no float and you are pretty much guaranteed to never unclip when you go for a hard sprint.

Inspired by this bike I built a fixed conversion out of an old Faggin frame using the same colour pattern. Hope you don't mind I "stole" this from you. It's just so beautiful.

Most beautiful bike ever. I liked the fixfixfix-version with dark rims even more. Still absolutly stunning with all the detail (e.g. red bar ends)

cheers! i like the darker Fiamme rims better too so i put them back on.

Do you know what fork rake/offset is the fork? I have seen 35 as a common for threadless but I am trying to find a threadless fork that will give me a tight clearance like your fork.

not sure of the fork rake but the head tube angle is really steep so that's the main reason for the tight clearance. if you haven't gotten your fork yet, get a Wound Up. best ever.
