Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

that's shady if he won't even show you a full shot of the cog and lockring. my guess is he is using older campy road wheels and threw on a cog a bottom bracket lockring. i just don't know anyone who would switch out regular axles to quick release on track wheels.

I haven't emailed this one yet, but I'm about to. I'm gonna offer $150 for both. Is there really that much difference between "vintage collectors" and "old"?

This is a forum member's conversion. I cannot recall if he started a thread or what but the debate came up over whether he should have converted this bike or not. I told him he should have sold it as he got it for a couple of hundred. Other members said that it is just an old Nishiki, so who cares. The dude is about to score close to $500 on eBay for it, I cannot believe it.

damn that's what chromed lugs, nice looking cranks, and decent pictures get you.

wtf? those cranks are nothing special and the bars definitely aren't njs. i feel bad for the high bidder

His description is full of misinformation/falsehoods and his feedback is 96%, people are nuts.

did these really go with 0 bids? also, is this a suicide hub, or something? since when do campy track hubs not have track axles?
