| | Won it on ebay yesterday nervous last 5 mins as another bidder jumped in. After seeing that Gazelle track beauty in Brick Lanes Cycles and another nice one on the streets of London I thought it might be a nice one to fix up. I am tempted to remove any sticky outy bits with a dremel but I guess it would be a shame if ever it were to go back to a geared bike and could well mess up the nice paint job. Now just got to get the bits to get it road worthy. Any suggestions for a nice strong hub rim combo. I see quite a bit of Suntour Superbe Pro hubs on ebay .... worth the effort ? Nice kit ? I am not sure about the rear hub width will I have to get a free hub or will I get a track hub to fit ? I have relied on my l.b.s. to assist in builds in the past I might try and do this one all myself using Sheldon Browns site and the Fixed Gear Gallery Bobs Garage see if I can work it all out myself. Dear Bank manager .......... |

| | Those Suntour Superbe hubs (with the bronze circle) are the jam. IMHO better than high flange DAs or Suzue Pro Max NJS. Smooth like butter, build into strong track wheels and they look great. They're all round lovely lovely hubs. Not the best hubs for street riding as they're loose ball, but if you know how to maintain hubs you can keep 'em rolling for years. Its also hard to find parts for them (ie cones, axles etc) these days which is another reason to treat them well. Used to fetch a pretty premimum on Ebay, so either they're going to get expensive or the market for NJS bling is cooling off. |

| | ^^ what Pip said. The frame is probably spaced at 126mm so you could either cold set it to 120mm, use a 120mm hub and just screw the tracknuts down to take up the 3mm either side or add spacers (if the axle is long enough) to talke the OLN of the hub up to 126mm. The second option isn't ideal but will work, the first will require a bit more work than the third but they are both good. Please don't cut things off that frame - it would be a real shame. If you want the clean look then buy a track frame. |
