[ben_is_fixed]

i found her sister

NICE!! I was hit dubrat up for that one but looks like you beat me to it Look forward to seeing it built up

[dubrat]

yep had about 6 pm's bout this cutey but theMung got in first.....

I got another Ken track coming up tho.....

- Any idea on what steel its built with? It has a reynolds 531 sticker on the bottom of the ST but it only says fork blades, seatpost sise is 26.8, i thought 531 was 27.2??

26.8 suggests it may be tange 2 tubing. Which is odd considering kenevans is an australian based builder, and tange is more commonly used in japan. none the less, great frame!

Not so. Many Aussie frame builders used Tange tubing. It is good stuff. Easily as good as Reynolds and Columbus tubing at the time. It was used because it was cheaper.

could be aelle

Could be gaspipe whatever it is I love it, such a nice frame to ride. Here's a few updated pics whith a mostly superbe pro group

Your track frame is a touch small, 53 yeah? Believe me i've thought about it! Dress her in a superbe pro track group, now that would be matchy matchy and a little OCD

[munga]

yeah its 53.5 c-c st, but i'm comparing headtubes and i think i should put some wheels under it and measure standover.

[ben_is_fixed]

I'd be keen to see what the geo is like with some wheels on it & standover height

[munga]

805mm standover.

standby for pics.

[munga]

23c tyres

[BRLVR.v2]

That's a nice frame Shannon. Why u No build up and ride?
Is it Square or is the TT a smidge longer?

[munga]

yeah its square, must be my phone pics making it look funny.

can't really justify building something so clean. life's too short to look at bikes on a wall.

[BRLVR.v2]

That's why you'd ride it ya doofus Everything has to get scuffed sometime. I't's even drilled so you can run a front Brake, and join the sw8 fixay scene.

Man that's a tight gap on the front. Gorgeous frame.

[ben_is_fixed]

Ill measure my current track bike tonight and see if theres much difference, thanks for the pics, its a stunner.
Are the stickers on top or underneath clear coat?
