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.
Vitus CL 1 ready to ride
The Vitus CL 1 mountainbike is still not completely as I wanted, but it's ready to ride.
There a ride tomorrow, so I have to deal with it.
Full Deore LX and mainly period correct components.
It weighs a ton, but I don't give a shit. I guess that the weight was pretty normal for the early 1990s and that meanwhile we got used to featherweight MTBs.
