Picked up this frame real cheap from Universe Cycles in Parramatta (awesome guys, lots of new old stock, check them out!)


I wanted to keep it primarily Jap Spec, took me a few months to sort parts using Ebay, Wiggle and my LBS (shout outs to the boys at Deus on oxford st, awesome guys!)

decided to stick with a Silver, Gold, Tan colourway, turned out a real treat, definitely my favourite baby amongst my fleet.

Thanks for looking

interesting choice on the rim colour but strangely it works really well! nicely finished. nice frame too.

Very nice bike

I dig it - the turbo '80 is a nice touch too (they are damn nice saddles - awesome to see them back in production with leather covers)

beautiful, all in really good taste. really classic looking

A lovely bike with a classic look. It looks like a sweet ride.

i really like this setup! great selection of gear and great build!

Now all you need to do is take all those tasty parts and hang em on a real track frame instead of a lazy angled conversion.

how much was one of those "lazy angled" MKS frames anyway?

PG cro Mo, and those angles, would make a nice tourer!
