Got given this frame as it was apparently heading for the skip! As it was a small sized road frame I took the opportunity to build it up as a singlespeed for the girlfriend this summer. She didn't want anything too special so I kept to a relatively low budget but tried to keep a retro theme going.
The rough spec is as follows;
The wheels are Zenith track hubs laced to Mavic Open Sports.
Sugino R2D cranks with a 46T chainring
17T freewheel
Retro riveted saddle from Velo Solo (http://www.velosolo.co.uk/)
Stem & bars were rescued from the original frame with a clean up and some new bar tape.
Pedals, seatpost and brakes are just generic items i've picked up over the past couple of months.
The next build for me will be the new dedicated track bike, watch this space.
