Frame
57cm Interpro track frame w/ Nagasawa lugs (custom repainted by LSD Bikes)

Front End:
1� Tange threaded headset
1� Vintage threaded stem
Nitto 123-AA drop bars

Saddle:
Brooks Sparrow w/ chrome steel rails
MH Italian aluminum seat post
Sugino locking seat tube bolt

Drivetrain:
Sugino 75 bottom bracket
Sugino 75 167.5mm crank set
Sugino Zen Racing 47t chain ring
MKS Sylvan pedals w/ MKS toe clips (M) and Rider�s Pro straps
Euro-Asia 17t rear cog
1/2� master link chain (KMC if I remember correctly)

Wheels:
Shimano Dura-Ace 36H track hubs
Velocity Deep-V 36H rims
Continental Ultra Sport 23C tires

W2,100,000

In the two years since I built this bicycle, I have put about 1,200 miles on it. Every inch of this bicycle has been meticulously maintained since day one. It has seen the rain once. After every ride, I wipe it down and oil/grease any areas that need attention. There are a couple chips in the paint (which are visible in the pictures) where a trio of drunk businessmen though it would be a good idea to try out the riding position while it was locked to a pole one afternoon, but the chips are minimal. Do not mind the picture of the left side rear drop-out�the drop-out is not rusty. The camera picked up a lot of reds there for some reason.

My original build cost was W2,620,000. The guys at LSD repainted the frame and laced the wheels.

With the bicycle come a tin of Brooks Proofhide and a set of Fox cycling gloves (M) as well as the original build spec sheet.

I love this bicycle dearly, but I have not been riding it much lately--other bicycles and motorcycles to ride. I thought I would let someone else enjoy it. I am pretty firm on the price, but I could bend a bit for the right buyer. If no one is interested, I will hang on to it. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the kind words, spicy. I put a lot of effort into the build.

Still for sale.

This bicycle really does look even better than the pictures. A nice, stiff ride--not in any way noodle-y.

I am not completely set on the asking price--willing to take offers.

One more trip to the top for the coming of the first 60* day in Seoul.

After three bumps to the top and no interest, I suppose I will be hanging on to this bicycle and continuing to enjoy riding it.

If anyone happens upon this thread via the search function, the bicycle is eternally for sale unless I state otherwise in the future.
