1990 Textima Sprint

This Textima sprint bike was built in 1990. The Textima research and development centre in Karl-Marx-Stadt in former GDR was closed in that year and according to the frame number this might be one of the last track bikes they built. This kind of frame was built in order to meet the large mechanical stress during sprint competitions. The gussets and the double seat clamp strengthen the critical points of the frame. Beside this also some aerodynamic features were attached like the wishbone and the tapered top tube for example, which are minimizing the air turbulences. Furthermore, the seat tube is squeezed downwards so that the wheelbase is shortened. Until I got this bike from a former bike coach it was used as a professional track bike. It was repainted several times and a lot of original parts are missing. But I will give my best to let it shine in the old gleam again :-)

Schöne Maschiene! Die Gabel ist aber von einer Gazelle, oder? Hat recht wenig Vorlauf für Diamant ;-)

Ich hatte mir darüber nie Gedanken gemacht, weil der Vorbesitzer meinte es wäre ne Diamant-Gabel. Aber jetzt wo du es sagst sieht es schon eher wie ne Gazelle-Gabel aus xD

schaut ja stimmig aus. am Ende lag das Ding halt im Vereinsbestand rum und bei Neulackierung X wurde diese Gabel als passend befunden. Das Blau fetzt. SPORT FREI!

Allgemein "Textimagabeln" sind eigentlich kein Problem. Nur eben speziell ne Sprintergabel konnte ich noch nicht ergattern

Der passende LRS wird gerade eingespeicht und ein paar fehlende Teile sind schon in greifbarer Nähe. Irgendwann wird es eventuell mal wieder silber, obwohl das blau verdammt schick is :-)
