I'm hoping to go flipflop..it's a 48...I don't know why but I think it's going to be too small. Someone suggested funny bike. I want to use it for Gold Sprints, Ice Racing and general raging about town. It does still have the headset cup in the bottom.

48 is pretty small, how tall are you? Sometimes small is good for beater action though.

About the only thing you could do with it is pay it down a little for me, so yeah, you can. ;)

operator 03-10-06 01:56 PM

Cramerotti are nice though.... even really tiny ones

TRaffic Jammer 03-10-06 02:33 PM

Its a Gen-u-wine track frame. Nice track ends too. I was considering building it up vintage for myself but realistically my fixed riding will be done on my Winterbourne. Not that 2 track bikes would hurt............hmmmmmmm.

If you are 5'8" and the frame is 48cm I hope it came with some free coupons for the chiropractor.

TRaffic Jammer 03-10-06 02:48 PM

I knew it!!!! Now I guess cleaning up for trade season.

sr20det 03-10-06 02:50 PM

yea, i'm thinking of parting out the c-record sherrif stars or keeping them hung in my bedroom.
they look pretty :) + they're tired/soldered to campy stradas and omegas.
I'm not keeping most of my bikes and I don't have parts to build up 1/2 of my frames haha.

Well, if you are having trouble finding a home for that bad boy, I would interested as well. 60 cm TT is perfect for me. BB could be a bit of a challenge, but I'm sure I could find something.

sweep242 03-10-06 06:20 PM
