  • Track pedals with metal toe clips
  • panaracer Pasella tires (i think 1.25")
  • Front wheel: either a used double wall or new single
  • Back: Formula hub + sun M13II rim
  • cloud 9 gel seat
  • cross brake
  • 42 x 16 gear ratio

Is this worth it?
If the frame fits, and it is in good shape, it sounds like a better deal than buying a new Fuji Track.
