SUPER SICK Custom Tom Kellogg DA10 Track Racer!

MAN would I ever LOVE to own rub my nuts all over this bike!


Same combo I've got going on the White Nag. DA10 laced to Ayraya Titaace Ti Rims. So. Totally. BITCHIN'!!!

Specs and info as listed:

Classic 1980 model Tom Kellogg custom built Track Bike


Offered for sale is one of the coolest track bikes ever built. It is


in virtually new condition, with approximately 100 miles of use.


Tom built the bike for Patrick Sercu to ride on a board track velodrome


in Chicago in the summer of 1980. Sercu was recently honored as the


"Winningest 6 Day Racer" of all time in Europe. Jack Simes, the coach


of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Cycling Team, who had raced against Sercu


many times, was also the founder of the Panasonic - Shimano Cycling


Team, which was the first professional racing team in the U.S. Simes


asked Sercu to come to the race in Chicago so that there was some


"star power" to promote the race with. He agreed, but didn't want to travel


from Belgium with a bike, so Jack had Tom build this frame for him for this


one race. I was living in Trexlertown at the time, and racing at the "T-town"


Velodrome, and had the great fortune to buy the bike from Jack when Patrick


returned to Europe. Shortly after I moved out here to San Jose and only ever


rode it twice at the track in Hellyer Park. It really is in virtually brand new


condition. Here are a few of the specs:


Built with Columbus SL double butted chrome moly tubing


Seat tube measures 57.0 cm center to center


Top tube measures 57.5 cm center to center


Shimano Dura Ace 10mm crank arms are 165mm in length

with a 48 tooth chain ring and a 15 tooth cog.


Cinelli model 64 track bars


Cinelli Buffalo Hide saddle


Shimano Dura Ace high flange hubs


Araya Titanium alloy tubular rims
