Im just saying what your definition of "classic"? A little more info would be useful for us. Some people think 1980's would be a classic. Personally, I think it would be a 1960's-1970's bike to be a classic. Everything else is just in limbo.

I don't think $500 for a 4130 chromoly steel frame is worth it.

depends on how you build it up. someone recently finished building up that purple pake and it looks pretty "old school."

That's not "old style track" at all. Even the kilo has a lugged fork.
I suggest the SE Premium brew frameset. 250 bikeisland, shipping included, frame/fork/headset. Lugged frame and fork, very nice looking dropouts too.

I agree with the other guy, NJS is what you are looking for - but the prices are absurd for the hipsters looking for NJS everything, no matter what the price, even though they arent even keirin racers.

Yes it is mine. Thanks for the complement. I have a set of custom laminated wood handlebars on it right now. Just need this damn snow to go away.
