New track bike I built for myself -
Columbus ZONA OS everything but the headtube which is True Temper OX Plat.
Long Shen lugs, BB shell, fork tips
Paragon dropouts
Henry James fork crown
Components are almost all off the last bike I posted in here.
Gipiemme hubs on CXP14's
Miche Cranks on a Phil BB
Campy C-Record post/headset/pedals
Brooks Swift
Sakae stem
42cm Nitto B123's
Izumi "green" chain
Better pictures to come, these are just the shots I took with my cheap camera while the real photographer was working.

Beefy T's is just what the printer used. Didn't have much of a say in the matter for the price. What would you prefer?
and thanks for all the kind words! The pics my friend took should be much less blurry and strange colored.

finishing up a nakamichi conversion for my girlfriend's brother. i still have to find a brake with proper reach, find out what kind of bars he wants, wrap the bars(or put grips on if he says risers), and adjust the brake. some of the pictures have a deep v in the rear, thats because i wanted to ride it, didn't want to use a freewheel brakeless, and couldn't find my lockring tool.

he already took his rear brake off, so i am without lever right now. i think he should have two brakes as well. we'll see what can be dug up at chain reaction.

Tires: Greenspeed Scorcher TR (kevlar) 20x1.50 slicks (designed primarily for trikes and 'bents)
A lot of other fixed Swifts I see are running the taller/skinnier 451 rims. I prefer the 406 for smaller fold and greater tire/tube availability (including BMX tires ).
