Acquired with a damaged bottom bracket
lug, this beautiful track bike has been brought back to life due to a couple fine companies and many fine people. The
frame was sent to
Franklin Frames of Ohio for repair and
restoration. As you can see in the pictures their work is impeccable
leaving nothing to be desired regarding both structure and
aesthetics.
After receiving
the frame back, wheels were assembled by Covi Hazelwood of
Two Wheeler Dealer in Wilmington, NC. His flawless build features a set
of Campagnolo Record Pista hubs with Nisi tubular rims. The rims spin
marvelously and are a real treat when being propelled by a Campagnolo
Record Pista crank with 51T chainring. The Campagnolo components
continue and round out the drivetrain with Record Pista pedals.
Moving to the handling aspects of this track bike, the Cinelli Pista
bars with 2A 130mm stem ensure correct track components and are sure
to hold up to the toughest of riding conditions. Finally, the
non-fluted Campagnolo seatpost and Selle San Marco Pirelli
Sospensioni saddle ensure a sturdy platform for speed.
Lastly, this bike is a perfect example
of bringing a timeless classic back to life. Due to the contributions
of a couple helpful companies and many helpful people, this amazing track bike can now
be ridden and will be sure to catch looks anywhere one goes. A big thank you to all that were involved!

beautiful work! I'd like to know what is the paint and color used. Looks fantastic and super classy. Do u have images of the original BB lug? I'm curious whether it has drain holes and in which pattern. thnx
ReplyDeleteThe paint as far as we know is original Windsor paint. It was touched up by Franklin Frames out of Ohio. The bottom bracket bears no name but has two pretty wide slots that run about 2/3 the length of the shell. I can post a pic if needed. If you can provide any additional information, we would be more than happy to know more about this frame!
Deletehi, sorry for the late reply. Seems like Windsor produced 2 track models, the AM4 pro and the "Profesional" (1 s - Spanish spelling). The main difference I've found between these models is the fork crown, which in the AM4 it has a slot in it while in the model shown in the post, the crown looks more minimalist and slightly more slopped. Regarding the holes or slots in BB barrel, I know the 2 slots pattern as you describe. Mine (which is a AM4) got a graceful pattern of round holes (like a flower) down there. Components seemed to vary with the time. Some have Campys, some Sugino or Shimano. my dropouts are Campagnolo, but chainring and cranks are (original) Sugino Mighty competition pista (165).
