  2. Thank you for your replies. I agree with you that full-Campag would be the bee's knees, however e.g track hubs from this era are hard to find and cost an awful lot of money. I'm also a bit concerned how would they last in a fixed gear bike built for urban riding. And yes, I have decided to go brakeless with this build. The serial number on the frame is 9004763. So the frame was built in the early 90's. Thanks heyyou for pointing that out. I was about to visit my LBS (16 miles away) for an ITA bottom bracket but it's a bit too cold (-21.3°C) for that.

  5. First of all I’d like to say hello to everyone here. I’m a part-time refugee from a local fixed gear forum. As temperatures here drop below zero, people start arguing on the internet instead of going out and riding. It only takes a few adolescent c**** who think trolling is funny to make visiting the forum a very unpleasant experience. So here’s the frame, a 90' Fior di Loto (literally: lotus flower) built by Basso. This will be my first fixed gear project and I’ll be happy to share it with you. I have some previous experience with geared bikes, both road and mtb. http://i.imgur.com/fgRL6Q1.jpg The frame is built with Columbus SLX tubing and has a standard road geometry. http://i.imgur.com/QtejBDB.jpg The frame has some minor wear, paint chips and such. No dings or dents however. I bought it from a guy who looked a bit like Tommy Tiernan did when he was young. I think it was the haircut. He even supplied a matching Silva bottle holder with the frame. http://i.imgur.com/w4CvSZO.jpg I personally think this frame deserves classic parts from somewhat same era. I actually do have some Galli/ITM components from early 80’s in my stash. What do you think? PS. I have no idea about the informative value of the photos

  7. I would like to see the occupant's strava profile. "Morning ride, 12 meters."
