More Info:
Acquired this in an awesome trade. In '07, '08, and '09 I used to fence. I stopped fencing after that and I had a lot of gear laying around just taking up space. So, I put an ad on Craigslist for the gear, I also include a note saying that I'm also interested in road and track bike parts. So, I get a message with someone saying that they have an old track bike and would like to work out a trade for some of the fencing gear. So, I end up trading 2 bags and 4 epees (fencing swords) for this bike. It came with the frame, fork, Campy headset, Campy bb, Campy BMX cranks, Campy seatpost, a very beat up seat, a DID chain, low flange Campy Record road hubs with track axles laced to old Mavics, the 3tt stem and Cinelli Crit bars, and 4 Campy Chainrings and 6 cogs. So, both of us were extremely pleased with the trade!

Current Stage Info:
Originally I built it up to sell to my friend (it had road drops and hoods and a rear B43, but then he flaked at the last moment. So my mom told me she would buy it off me if I put cruiser bars and a coaster brake on it, so that's what I did!

Sad to see this go, but at least it went to family ! How did you like the Turbo saddle ?
Posted over 9 years ago
Me too... And I liked the Turbo a lot. Not quite as much as I like my Rollses though.

Says the guy who owned his GT for under a month.. haha, I kid. It's sold, but not gone, because I still get to see it, and know my mom won't ever sell it.

oh shit!! you changed the cranks! nice work looks great, except for the brake ;)

Thanks! I know the brake is ugly, but better safe than sorry!

Exceptional looking bike. I think I feel your pain with the blue cranks; my bike came with some that killed the overall look of it. Fix that aspect and it is prefect!

I know! The cranks are killing me! I have my silver 54t Gipiemme chainring on it now and it looks a little bit better. And my Record Track cranks hopefully should arrive soon! They're shipping from Poland though... and it's already been more than a week.
