HarrieH's classic track bike project
A track bike has the beauty of simplicity. No distraction of cables, bottle holders, pumps and other accessories. Just a frame, fork, drivetrain, steering components and something to sit on will do the job on a track.
Some parts I already have for decades, others I have to collect. It's fun to look for the right components, to get them, build up the bike and, of course, ride it on the velodrome.
Oh, besides track, lots of (off-)road stuff as well.
Selle Royal Superleggero
Selle Royal saddle, special edition for Gazelle.
Showed up in Gazelle's 1981 catalogue on a beautiful Reynolds 753 bicycle. Like Cinelli Unicanitor, it's a plastic shell with a padded leather cover. The rails, however, are aluminium, thus super lightweight or superleggero.
I never had the opportunity to ride this kind of saddle, even not during my days at Gazelle. Or, maybe I had, but there was plenty other stuff to use. And first I have to get myself a Gazelle frame set to do this saddle any justice. Until then, it will stay NOS.
