Try to find some nice Italian bar and stem, but if not go with the nitto. I mean **** the frame and fork were hand-made in Belgium, it just doesnt get any better than that.

This is my 'new' 1975 Schwinn Paramount track bike. The only original component still on it is the Campy Record bottom bracket, but it did have on it the nice Campy record track 165 crankset. I put on: a vintage white leather Selle Concor saddle; a Campy Centaur seatpost;and white Kieren style grips; Iro front break; Panaracer tan sidewall tires; Sylvan track pedals. The bike came with Weinmann wheelset, probably from the 80s, and the Nitto stem and bars -- future upgrades but for now I've spent enough and I'm just going to enjoy riding it!

Bling Bling the bridgestone is lookin good.

Top tube protectors always looked pretty stupid to me....two of 'em just makes a bike look like the cycling equivalent of those plastic, rounded-point scissors you had back in preschool. Nice grip color, though.

it's definitely the crayola bike. the two protectors are just on there for ****s and giggles. the green one is definitely staying, though, as it is quite functional.

Shants, did you cut off part of your Oury grips? I was about to cut the inside edge of mine. It looks like you beat me to it. The green combos look great. Show some more photos.

Sashae: NICE Grand Mighty crankset. I'm thinking about picking up a set from EAI in the next couple of months, but don't know what chainring I'm going to go with yet...

yep, i sliced that ****. i'll take some more pictures in a few.

my new baby. immense thank you to dolface, who made it all happen. look and enjoy.

Love a red bike!

Fantastic.

shants' bike is a level of awesomely ugly I'm not sure my brain is capable of understanding.

at very least its fitting.

You just need some purple for the championship colors.

Rafi-Is that the Nagasawa from e-framebank? That was a freaking STEAL.
