1986ish Swinnerton track bike, built by Keith Coppell, Reynolds 531 Competition tubeset.
56 c-c, 56 c-t, 15 ht
I bought this in 2020, spent far too much on some lovely shiny new components, raced it in 2021, then it has sat in the attic ever since. The frame has quite a few battle scars but is structurally fine as far as I am aware. I replaced most of the components with new ones, except the headset, seatpost and wheels. It would look lovely with a new seatpost and some decent wheels (or with a re-spray).
Sugino SG75 Chainset 170 mm - new
Sugino SG75 Superlap BB - new, small burr on the lockring because I sneezed while tightening it... still annoyed with myself.
Nitto B123 handlebars 38 cm Steel - new
Nitto NTC-A Dynamic stem 130 mm - new, small scratch on top
MKS Chain tugs - new
Izumi Super Toughness chain - new
Brooks Swift Special saddle - new
Selcof aluminium post - old and a bit manky, but it holds a saddle up well enough
Tange Levin headset - old, some small rust spots but turns smoothly
Gipiemme Pista Fixed flip/flop wheelset - old and inexpensive, thread stripped on one side of hub, but usable, with some old Bonty R3 25 mm tyres I had lying around.
Ultegra PD-6800 pedals - a bit tatty, but serviced fairly recently.
