So, cant get a Sputnik until mid Nov, Iro was out of the frame size I wanted. Broke down and got Motobecane LeChamp to tide me over till the Sput's came in. It's been great on family rides, but still jonesing for a track bike. Saw one my size on ebay about 12 hours before the end. Some frantic research on the net reveled it was made by a respected frame builder in Pa., Superbe Pro hubs,cranks, headset and seatpost. Mavic sewup rims, Cinelli bar and stem, no pedals. Just my size, 48 cm which is a little hard to find on ebay. Got it for 425.00, Dreesens track bike, aluminum frame, about 14.5 lbs, sans pedals.. I"m guessing it was made in the late eighties, gonna try and get a hold of the frame maker and see if he can clue me in. I thought I'd drill the fork for a brake, get some clinchers for it, but Now I think I'm going to leave it as is, as I'm pretty sure this is the original equipment. I'll be riding it on the 60+ miles of rails to trails here, very little bike traffic, only have to slow down in a dozen spots or so to go thru car barriers and cross the odd rural street, so I should be able to get by without a brake. I might get anther set of wheels made, clinchers cuz I've never been that crazy about tubulars for road use. Still gonna get a Sputnik though and am plotting a quiver of road and fixies. Just what I need, another pricey hobby! Will start looking for some Superbe Pro track pedals, but from what I"ve read, I might as well be looking for the Holy Grail
