Offered for your consideration is this
Hetchins
Vade Mecum

TRACK ( Fixed Gear) Bike
This is a 1969 Hetchins Vade Mecum VM1 TRACK Bike. With the original paint and decals and it is in excellent condition. It has has a 21" (53.5cm) seat tube measured center-to-top and a 21" top tube. The stand-over height is 31 3/8" because track bikes have higher BB's. The wheelbase is 37 1/2". This is a very agressive design intended for track use. The components are a full Campagnolo Nuovo Record Track Gruppo with 165 mm cranks. This bike is equipped with an Inch Pitch drive train (very cool). A 24 T, 151 B.C.D. chainring and an 8 T cog and an inch pitch Regina "block" chain. That's the equivelent of 48 x 16. The seat is a Brooks Professional that dates to 1965 that has a good patina and the correct shape. The Bars are Cinelli Steel Campeone Del Mondo in 38 cm and the stem is a 95 mm Baged Steel Cinelli. It's just about perfect and that includes the paint and decals. Please look at the pictures I'm sure that you will like what you see.
$2100 will do it
