rare aluminum stronglight inch pitch track/ campy

brooks professional/ campy

/ inch pitch block chain

23 / 8

i can't find much info on the frame . it bought it from belgium recently. it has the address and phone # of the shop or dealer that sold it on the bottom tube decal. it's a fairly lightweight frame with lugs only at the head tube - the rest are brazed smooth- named after a mountain in the french alps, which is still part of the route of the tour de france- if anyone has any more info on this hand built track frame, please let me know- i just recently converted the drive train back to inch pitch (1 inch pitch) which would have been original for the time - hard to find those inch pitch cog gears and special chains- i thought it would ride rough, but its suprisingly smooth- i plan to ride this bike occasionally- its surprisingly light (aprox. 18lbs complete) not bad for an old bike

head tube

I'm loving that head tube, with the mountain in the backround and all.

beautiful

Belgium makes awesome track bikes and beer!

Beautiful

Simple, clean lines. Deserves a prettier chain ring though. I love it !!

thanks

hey, thanks for the comment. that chainring was temporary. i now run a campy 42t with campy crank set. i just got it recently and i'm slowly converting it to mostly campy. will post new pics up when its done. wait....are these things ever done?

nice looking frame

can you upload a closeup of the head tube? it looks interesting. thanks.

head tube

ya, no problem
