This one feels a bit more special. Some old fella came by with a truck load of old stuff and asked if we had any people who were interested. Most of it was broken and/or unusable. I picked through enough to find what you see in the photos. Medici Pro Pista track frame (52cm) with what seems to be a Specialized (I am estimating this because the sticker residue exactly matches the sticker shapes that were on the specialized ones) tri-spoke wheel which I fitted a new axle to it to space it for rear spacing and now yer laughin'. Campy headset, Suntour cranks, Cinelli bars and a mavic quill stem. Peep the tire clearance, suuuper tight. Front wheel is just one I had lying around while I find something to lace one of my campy hubs to.

I drilled the bridge to mount a rear brake, and found one of those old tektro Top levers to run it through. Mount up a dura ace caliper I had and now yer laughin' EVEN HARDER. Most expensive part was the tape, which of course was some Cinelli art tape. Total bill on this one was around $32 CAD. Waiting on some Dia Compe cable clamps to get rid of the electrical tape but I am pretty sure it looks pretty ace as-is. I've got the front wheel in backwards as it has been mounted since the other way round seems to bind, seems the hub shell is pretty shot so I'm keen to replace it.
