I already have one but it's a tad too big... bearable but could fit better. a mix of part. DuraAce, Sugino, IRO. Only thing different from the picture is a Miche supertype seatpost on there. Gotta save to get nice wheels... so if anyone have some nice hubs or wheels they wanna get rid of, pm me.

Witz, do you ride that daily? It's purdy! But the front wheel/tire looks high maintainance.
Don't ride it everyday (though I should), the front wheel had to be trued once (its handbuilt). I ride pretty mellow, so a radial is fine.

yeah, 3x is much more common, and it makes replacing spokes easier.

maybe some of the more keirin-savvy members could answer that?

how is 3x any lighter than 4x, you are still using 36 spokes.

A friend of mine's sister is named Keiran.
It's a male Irish name, but close enough and pronounced the same.
Also, she is very attractive so I definitely have a Keiran fixation.
