It's a 'show bike' (y'know, like a 'concept car') by Independent Fabrications.

Yes, they made it for the North American Handmade Bicycle Show in 2007 - it won the 'Best Track Bike' award. NAHMBS is happening again in about six weeks' time. I, sadly, will not be attending.

I'd love to have a go at making one in another colour. Just need the rails and a riveter.

Good point! A friend of mine has a riviter... All I need is an old, knackered Bxx...
Would the leather need pre-conditioning at all?
Fetishists? Anybody?

Well I got an Eddy Merckx track frame with full Super Record groupset and Campag Atlanta rims for 185 euros in Belgium, so I'm gonna say yes.

Here's a photo after some changes (by the way, the saddle isnt really at that angle). Readers wives comments welcomed, but I think the photo is relevant:

The frame's nice and all, but why so many logos for god's sake?
By the way, that Dolan logo is so damn ugly. Could they not have hired a graphic designer to design them?
And umm, those track ends could have looked less like they were added after the whole frame was designed...

185 euros? Now that's what I call a killer deal.
That bike's a beauty...
