BIG Group of tasty NOS Dura Ace Track gear just came in!!


Full NOS vintage Dura Ace Track group, 6 sets of Shimano UFP 10 track dropouts, and a NOS DA10 chain whip and lockring:

Close up of the butterylicious cranks:

..and the SIX sets of OG Shimano UFP 10 drop outs:

While everything wasn't a hella good deal, the overall price was very fair. Especially considering how long and how much more it would take to put together a full NOS group like this..

In other words, fuckin' stoked!

Not sure what they're going on as of yet. Part of me wants to build a classic track frame, toss this group on and sell it. Would also be lovely on a vintage NJS bike as well. I've also got another new frame I'll be starting work on shortly which is also tempting but it's another one of my weird designs so I'm not sure if it'll go with it stylistically. We'll see what I have in mind as that project begins..

Progress on the schmancy lugged True Temper aero seat tube frame!

Spent the weekend building the rear triangle and IT. WAS. A. DAAAWWG. Totally worth it tho cause now I have a bike with a fat ass that I can't help wanting to slap lol!:

The wheels are just for mock up but I'm kinda feelin' something similar for the final build, hehe..

Still have a ffffffffffFUCKLOAD of work to do on it. Internal cabling should be fun NOT REALLY. Then all the little spear points I made amongst other bits and pieces. Then like a hundred more things before this sexy beast is ready for paint. Real paint with any luck..

More soon..
