Atala Campagnolo Track Bike

This Atala track bike is from 1975. She is all chrome
w/ chrome lugs, COLUMBUS TUBING CAMPAGNOLO DROPS AND TIPS.

The story behind her is short. I found someone selling something that they had no idea about...In this case it was my dream bike. Ive searched up and down the internet waiting and waiting for the right bike. So as i was leaving work one night i was like eh ill check one more time in case....next thing you know i see a post that says " Atala Track bike " I was like what the hell i was on here like 10seconds ago! I clicked on the link and saw the bad quality photos. You wouldnt beleive what i saw...it was an Atala track bike alright, only thing was it had the most hidious HUGEST ugly wack crazy beach cruiser handle bars, motorcycle style, with a couch for a seat. But i was only interested in the frame anyway. So i call this guy at like 11pm at night for directions, Because we all know how crazy craigslist get...i guess i was one of the wackos, cuz i drove an hour to sleep in a Dennys in a city i knew nothing about. When the sun came out i littery drove to the drive way of where we were supose meet. I finally got a hold of him in the morning and he told me that he had at least 100 phone calls, thats when he decided to turn his phone off. hahahaah sux for you guys!!!, anyway he rolls this beast out of the garage...then i take it for a ride with the hugest smile on my face because some other craigslist guy walks around the corner as i wave and smile at him like a kid. he knew what i was riding, but also knew i knew what i was riding. BAM, gave that guy !!!!!!who the day before had put it in the dumpster!!!! but desided to put in on craigslist for kicks. Ok now i knew the bike was mine...i checked out the specs after my quick ride, with the other guy who wanted it so bad to, standing over my shoulder...i like like OMG!! you got to be kiding right?!?! it had Campagnolo 165 Strada, Campagnolo track BB w/Campagnolo bolts, campy record hubs, campy headset!!!! Then i looked over at the other guy and he was like "hey man ill give you 0 cash right now!" i was like NOPPPPPE! later man.

Before i got the frame i had scored Campagnolo Record High Flange Hubs w/ Perfect Chrome Nuts Laced on Tublar Mavics,(there was no cash transation with the wheelset, i had simply traded an old fixed wheelset for them, he was fat and didnt want to detroy the beautiful campy wheelset, so we traded,another OMG! you gotta be kidding me!!!) that just melted with the frame...hope you guys love it has much as i do, lets keep the bikes chill and original people.....
