Panasonic Track 4000 before and after.
 
Before, the poor thing was wearing a coaster brake rear wheel, cheap cranks with QBP ring..

I can't wait to ride it with the new wheels, they are at least a pound or so lighter than my old ones. A different seat is possible too, I really like my regal but only have one :D

Nice build. Those american classics are fly. How did that frame get a coaster brake? Hipster wasn't willing to commit to a fixed wheel?

There is a velodrome nearby, Helyer (sp?) in San Jose has beginners instruction and laps on Saturdays I think.

Hellyer velodrome is awesome Chris, you'll get a kick out of it. When I have money in my wallet and a friend willing to lend his bike, I go down there for cadence training.
