What I've built up here is sort of a fantasy of my first bike that I cut my teeth on Chicago's streets with. I used to have one that was entirely silver and set up as a road ride and it was one fast bike and also what made me fall in love with cycling in Chicago. This " fantasy" version is built up as follows: 59cm frame in pink and yellow built from Tange 1 double butted tubing with nice lug work. The frame has been ridden before and shows some wear, but is in fantastic shape for it's age.And yeah I know.. all yellow and pink??? Yes all yellow and pink. The only way to accept the ugliest paint scheme of all time is to turn it up to eleven. The only blemishes are cosmetic and would rate an easy 8 out of 10. The geometry is very tight and agile with a 59cm ctc seat tube, 57cm ctc top tube and 62 cm ctc downtube. In an effort to clean up the look of things without permanently altering the use of the bike, I have carefully ground off the shifter bosses that protrude from the downtube. If you do want to rebuild it as a road bike, all you need are clamp on downtube shifters. Anyway here's the rundown: NOS Shimano 105 headset, NOS vintage Shimano Dura Ace bottom bracket, new Miche Supertype alloy seatpost, new Nitto 100 Jaguar NJS track stem, new Nitto B123 alloy track bars 38cm ctc, new Tec9 black 48T track crank, new MKS pink anodized track pedals, new Soma pink four gate toe clips, new Origin8 yellow leather double toe straps, new KMC 1/8" yellow track chain, new Surly 16T fixed gear cog and lockring, new rare pink leather racing saddle, new 43mm deep yellow Origin8 Track Attack track wheels with flip flop hub, new Duro pink 700 x 25 tires and new Bontrager yellow gel bar wrap.This bike can be altered in any way you like. I build custom bikes for friends and have many extra parts so changing any things about this bike is no problem. This bike has a standover height of 33.5". This means that you need an inseam of 33.5" at least to be able to fit this bike, so it should be good for anyone around 6' - 6'4". Either way please check your inseam.The price is $800 firm and I can be reached at 3123152550. If the ad is still up then the bike is still available. Thanks. Below you'll find links to high res. pics on photobucket.One pic you'll notice for the NJS stamp on the bars appears to be on another build. It was but the customer changed their mind, so the bars were rewrapped for this bike, but the logo is now under the tape.Also if you're interested in something a bit different you can check out nottooshabbycycles.com for a gallery site of my past work.
