sweet but the bars.

I liked the purple better

yeah^, why powdercoat it black? black is boring

The wiggly spokes sure are unusual. They would give a small amount of “suspension”. But would also soak up some of the power input from the chain instead of delivering it to the road.

I can’t imagine that little bit of wiggle in the spokes would do anything other than aesthetics (I personally don’t like the look). I did have one of the first monoshock BMX and that soaked up ALL my energy on every crank (even with the shock maxed out tight). Now, whenever I see people huffing by on the new MTB monoshocks, I think: “Suckerrr”…but they are getting an excellent workout :p

Unique build. Black is simple. Spokes are different. I like the bar ends.

I know I already mentioned it once, but you raped not only this frame, but the bike. This is Gabe work except you’re molesting a nice frame. Also, what is with the checkered stickers? I can’t help but notice they are popping up on many of your builds. Discount at Advanced Auto?

This is crazy story. The owner wants, that i do it like this. After rebulid he has no money to pay for his order. So he pay with the bike. Thats it.

Why all the hubb bubb bub? The black is an improvment(I hate purple),it’s stll a real track frame,they’re only stickers and the silly bars can be changed out in five minutes! He was doing what his customer asked and got stuck with the bill. I would buy this if I was flush and ride it till the wheels fell off. Nice build,don’t see any Gabeisms here.

Original paint can never be restored. They don’t even use the same materials or methods, let alone decals. I don’t care if someone paid me to change an original track bike – fuck that, fuck them. Oh wait, they didn’t even pay you.
