From the flickrpage: "This is snakeskin specially tanned and dyed that a leatherworker stretches and glues to the frame. He can dye it any color, and he does handlebar tape and beautiful leather bags. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of his leather seatbag. "

What did that person do to get that rear hub adapted like that?
I have never seen this wheelset in a track hub configuration.
I do love this wheelset, that's the dura ace set I think.

It's a little piece of rubberized plastic that is placed at the exact position your balls would impact the top tube when you slid off the front of the saddle. It protects your balls.
As you might imagine, positioning is key.

I have been looking for a FiR Apollo (that front rim) for months now, with no luck. The new rim is the FiR SRG30, but it has a slightly different profile and I haven't been able to find those either.
I just want something that matches my Campy Sydney rim, but that is impossible it seems.
