Imagine XTR PDR 9000 pedals, that's what I am using.
Our build will look eerily similar though.
FWIW The Niner CF fork looks like it was made for this frame.

Finally ordered a chain wear indicator. It came in the mail today. I tested out about 15 bikes. The chain on my Pinarello Record was the only one that was bad.

I wonder if, at my age, and with the number of bikes I have in rotation, I will ever really wear out a chain again...

Exactly. Usually the only time I put on a new chain is if I am increasing the number of speeds so I need a different chain or I am building up a frame from scratch. With so many bikes I don't spend a ton on tires either since each bike doesn't get ridden a lot. I have been buying Rubino Pro 3 tires which run about $20 each from Ribble. I have had very good luck with them.

Hi 3speedslow, here are photos of the initial build. I swapped in a pair of wheels I built earlier, Sanshin front and Maillard rear track hubs with tubular rims and tyres. Still have to rebuild the Airlite hub wheels that came with it. I also used a different stem, bars and seat post that I had in my collection of parts. Sorry about the spare tyre in the photos, I was looking for a spare toe strap to secure it under the seat for a test ride. Will probably refinish when/if I ever find out it's parentage. Chrome came up fine on forks & stays. Now I need to practise my track stands, sprints and clipping in, prior to my day's professional coaching at Herne Hill Velodrome. I'm really happy with the fit and incredibly grateful to the generosity of BF C&V members.

old pedaled,
I would ride that in a heartbeat ! Super looking job there. Airlite hubs, wow. I am still trying to get around to building up my Dunlop-Racelite hub combo for my Gran Sport.
Track class? Teaching or taking... The velodromes just aren't't around here or I would grab my track bike and do the class.
Thanks for the build up pics, hope you determine the history. Still a super example of an early track warrior.

Could be you are taking them with a "smart" phone (iPhone or whatever) and holding it in the opposite hand. Your phone display knows how to flip the image as you view or take it. The orientation is then embedded in the image which some display software will recognize and some will not. Ain't "smart" things goofy?
I like how they blame it on Microsoft but the problem started with iphone 5's...not 2's 3's or 4's.

I would suggest that the end of the holder that was bent be to the rear of the bike in the unlikely case that it should break off. (If you want photos, I'll put them up.)

(Addresses hidden to protect the innocent.)
Carefully packed
For SWIMPAL's bike. Now all I need do is get some cables, some adjustable down tube stops, and figure out how to put it all together!
Thank you, Tim!
