Stretched@Birth Posted December 14, 2014 Share A mismatched collection of parts comes together... The decals on the frame are a little tatty So I think a respray is in order, and a lot of polishing. Dropped the hubs and rims off yesterday to be built. Edit: spelling Edited December 14, 2014 by Stretched@Birth Loose cog and quintonb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a really nice bike. Looks like my size too????. Keep us updated on the restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like my size too[emoji4]. Keep us updated on the restoration.It's a 61cm CTC. I think I'm going to repaint it red, will have to source some decals. Also need to find some cranks, the cranks I have are 170mm Campag road cranks, would like some 167,5mm track cranks. Oh, and will replace the pedals with something a little more modern.

Loose cog Posted December 14, 2014 Share A mismatched collection of parts comes together...The decals on the frame are a little tatty So I think a respray is in order, and a lot of polishing. Dropped the hubs and rims off yesterday to be built. Yep Daccordi original decals were not very good, even the SLX I restored above wasn't that great. The bike's looking good. If you can't find a track crank think about using the road Crandall with a 49T or 50T track chainring. Usually works and depends if you can get a good line withe the rear cog. Let me know what BCD the crank is as I may have a chainring to swap for those pedals. P.S. Let me know what pedals you are looking for as I may have some to swap for yours?

Slowbee Posted December 19, 2014 Share OK, you lot. Need help tracking some history on this bike, and what I should be paying more or less ... It is a KTM bike, old school as you can see from the pics. Even has a lug on the front wheel for a dynamo to attach. The back wheel has an special lock build as part of the frame. Anyone know any history ? What sort of price should I be paying for this bike ? Any help much appreciated. From the website, it looks like a 1986 tourer formula, but any other history/help/advice would be great. Especially on the price to pay for such an item.
