Here' a snap shot of my newly acquired Zic-Zac. That was a day ago, it has since been stripped of it's brakes, SS cog, layback seatpost, and road bar. Future modifications include top tube cable guide(s) removal and brake hole fillings.

I picked it up beneath the "track" radar on eBay. Custom Zic Zac frameset (from San Francisco) built from Zero Uno Cr-Mo, with straight leg forks (I dig straight leg forks), Campy drivetrain, Campy brakes, Thompson Elite seatpost ($80 MSRP), Phil Wood track hubs ($320 MSRP), and a host of other top shelf stuff to include Sidi cleats (nearly new) that fit me perfectly.

This 650C track bike accelerates (explodes) and corners (Stuka dives) like nothing else before. That radial laced front wheel and those tacky Michelin slicks don't hurt either.

All in all, for 330 clams, it's exceeded my expectations and that "Eddy retro-orange" is just MORE icing on the cake. Ebay, in the end, it's just a coin toss. I got lucky this time.
