Gary,
The bike as I got it was only the frame, headset, bottom bracket and seatpost collar.

I have built it up in a somewhat b*stardized fashion, while trying to keep it tasteful (minus the carbon fiber seatpost ).

Sun rims laced to Formula track hubs.

Randonneur bars. I know French touring bars on an Italian track bike, not right. But this is a rider not a restoration and I find them to be super comfortable.

The brake is a Universal Super 68 for those "oh ****"! moments when I am on the streets.

The cranks are a set of Ofmega 170s of unknown vintage.

I may change out the bars to something more Pista worthy in the near future. As it is the bike is a dream to ride. My Centurion and Cannondale are gathering a lot of dust since I built this up. In time a Campy crankset would be dreamy. But it is rolling now and I love it. Oh, in the original pic I hadn't tensioned my chain after a cog swap, I don't run it quite so slack...
