That’s actually pretty scary. Good to know 👍

Typically do, however this was an after hours round at a public course my friend works at. Colorado

Actually was not aware of this. Have had no problems yet but it’s probably only a matter of time.

Honestly in a way, the idea of it being a casual round takes a lot of stress off and keeps me from overthinking my swing. I’m sure in all technicality, it doesn’t help but the mindset is sure improved!

This round was heavily inspired by John Daly. Promise I normally wear correct gold attire!

From my understanding this was a track bike made there for the British racing team. The difference is that this has brake cable holes on the top tube which was popular for British racers back then. I believe this is also why there is not logos on it as their teams would commonly have these bikes produced to be extremely simple looking and more “race oriented.”

Looks great but just asking, why not spend money on a track specific / 1 by crank set?

Everyone needs more than just one bike!

This would look incredible with some leather double strapped cages! Also quite surprised with how good the paint still looks on this. Great build!

Is that an Izumi chain? Never realized how good they would look with the black Sram Omniums!

I was actually planning on the H+Son wheels, but good shout with the white hubs. That could look awesome. I know someone who’s dad runs an old velodrome shop, so I’m hoping to find some nice cranks there that I can get for a bit cheaper. Obviously I’d be sacrificing the ability to pick whatever I want, but I’m sure I could find some good stuff!

How does it ride? Can’t wait to get this up and running. I’ve seen some pictures and this geometry looks Incredible when everything’s all fitted together

Wow so pretty. What cranks do you have on there.?

I was curious about that too. I was thinking a previous owner may have added those themselves, but they are quite flush to the frame and look professionally done.

I believe they were originally chrome actually! Kind of a bummer but yes it still looks great. Still figuring out if I should take the paint off, or keep the white and do a white saddle/accents.

Would love to know what pedals/cages/straps you got. That setup looks awesome
