This was a group effort that took years to complete. It never would have happened without a super crew of bike friends. Mat gave me the frame–He’s been trying to get me back on a track bike for 10 years. I sniped parts on ebay.it and message boards for a while and then Teo came through with the needed bits. Dan found the seatpost which adds a little Italian dripping character to the build. Alex and Nolan scavenged the Bikyle Basement and came up with the finishing touches, built the wheels, and pulled the whole thing together. Thank you to all.
