Danish handmade custom trackbike by the legendary and highly reputable framebuilder Tonny Petersen - AKA "Tonny Tornado" - An active track rider from '61-'71 and later, professional framebuilder. He has been making frames for the past 15 years, used both in the Olympics and World Championships. This frame's light and minimalistic and has a beautiful sparkle-finish. Standover height is quite high for a 54cm frame - the bottom bracket is placed high above the ground so the frameset is perfect for street/criterium use. Gotta love it!

This one needed new life. Hadn't ridden it for a year - felt like I needed inspiration from a new build. Really digging it as it is here.

the flat ellipse spokes along w/ the laidback seat post & slimline saddle all flow so damn well w/ the frameset tubing for a sophisticated whippy & hardcore masher
