More Info:
Acquired this in an awesome trade. In '07, '08, and '09 I used to fence. I stopped fencing after that and I had a lot of gear laying around just taking up space. So, I put an ad on Craigslist for the gear, I also include a note saying that I'm also interested in road and track bike parts. So, I get a message with someone saying that they have an old track bike and would like to work out a trade for some of the fencing gear. So, I end up trading 2 bags and 4 epees (fencing swords) for this bike. It came with the frame, fork, Campy headset, Campy bb, Campy BMX cranks, Campy seatpost, a very beat up seat, a DID chain, low flange Campy Record road hubs with track axles laced to old Mavics, the 3tt stem and Cinelli Crit bars, and 4 Campy Chainrings and 6 cogs. So, both of us were extremely pleased with the trade!

Current Stage Info:
Originally I built it up to sell to my friend (it had road drops and hoods and a rear B43, but then he flaked at the last moment. So my mom told me she would buy it off me if I put cruiser bars and a coaster brake on it, so that's what I did!

Sad to see this go, but at least it went to family ! How did you like the Turbo saddle ?
Posted about 12 years ago
Me too... And I liked the Turbo a lot. Not quite as much as I like my Rollses though.

You sold her already!?

Says the guy who owned his GT for under a month.. haha, I kid. It's sold, but not gone, because I still get to see it, and know my mom won't ever sell it.

The tires really finish this off nicely- I might try them when my current tubes are worn out...sweet build...

Thank you! I think gumwalls would look really, really great on your build!

oh shit!! you changed the cranks! nice work looks great, except for the brake ;)

Thanks! I know the brake is ugly, but better safe than sorry!

Exceptional looking bike. I think I feel your pain with the blue cranks; my bike came with some that killed the overall look of it. Fix that aspect and it is prefect!

I know! The cranks are killing me! I have my silver 54t Gipiemme chainring on it now and it looks a little bit better. And my Record Track cranks hopefully should arrive soon! They're shipping from Poland though... and it's already been more than a week.

I ordered the newer Record Pistas! They're shipping from Poland and will arrive in 2-4 weeks! :D 190 shipped and only used for one track season :D

dont like the cranks too..a classic campy or suntour would look better on it..but color of the frame and rest of the build: wow.
Posted almost 13 years ago
don't worry, I'm trying my best to get some older Campy Pistas!
Posted almost 13 years ago
the cranks have gotta go!!
Posted almost 13 years ago
I might be getting some older Campy pistas from a friend, so hopefully I can hurry up and swap the cranks!

Posted almost 13 years ago
it was totally unexpected! I found out about the bike two days before I got it! And I traded for it! :D

very classy, but those anodized cranks don't belong. especially with Sheriff Stars.
Posted almost 13 years ago
thank you! and I agree, silver cranks would look better, so I'll look for some polished Campy Pistas.
Posted almost 13 years ago
This is an awsome bike man,. I would recommend getting a silver Crankset and you'll be good to go!
Posted almost 13 years ago
Thanks! And I'm thinking the same thing, I'll try to find some old Campy Pista cranks :)
