Well, as luck would have it, I got hit yesterday with a $2300 bill from the Volvo dealer and my wife is freaking out. So, my beloved Kellogg Track bike project that so many have been so kind to advise me on must go by the wayside. Here are the details:
Quote from TK:
"I made that in '79 shortly before I went to work for Ross. It is my 98th frame. 73.0 seat angle, 75.0 head angle."
It measures 51 c/c seat by 53 c/c top.
I t will come with the original fork and an NOS Tange chrome fork drilled for non recessed brakes- so you can ride it on the roads. It is also equipped with a Campy Track HS, BB (new Shimano UN 53110 also included), and track pedals with Christophe cages and straps. Cinelli old logo track bars and stem (stem is marked Milano in an oval), Sugino Supermighty track cranks, Avocet post, Selle Italia black Turbo Saddle- the wheel set has matching rims, Mavic 190FB rims, but the rear is a high flange Record hub with a Suntour track cog; the front is a low flange Record hub- both have Conti Grand Prix tires.
When I received the bike, it had original paint, decals and rust- predominantly around the BB shell. I stripped the paint, and then sanded away the rust and it cleaned up beautifully- very SOLID, although there remains some minor pitting. I also gave her a coat of Weigles (the inside is incredibly clean). With the proper paint and decals, it will be an amazing bike. I regret not taking photos of it stripped, as Tom really did some beautiful brazing and detailed filing, especially around the seatlug and drops- I primered/ painted it just to protect it from future corrosion- flat black rustoleum. The bike was built out of Columbus tubing with Campy drops.
$600 shipped- I will send photos to whoever is interested.
