Monday Quick incarnation

Top Gun.

9 speed shifters, 8 speed cassette, 10 speed chain.

An ex-fyx Greg Lemond is alive and kickin' underneath Melburn's busiest little bee.

This isn't the first frame TT got from me.

The first frame was actually the first track bike I ever bought online.

It came with a VERY basic set of cranks with a press fit chainring, tubulars with bog suzue track hubs, and was M.O.R. throughout. At the heart was a very sturdy lugged steel frame and chrome fork. Incarnations occured over time. Ditching the cranks for classic SUPERBE pistas. Getting The Lord to hand build early Miche track hubs into Mavic Open Pros. Adjusting the stem length to compensate for the frame that was too small, and switching the alloy Cinelli Pista's for Steel Nitto bars. Scrapping the $2 plastic impotence platform for a classic San Marco Rolls. The final incarnation was passing it on only to hear that coming home from a bender, it became a bender, but not so bent that it didn't still ride straight.

Melburn. 2005.
