This is my UBI project. Obviously a work in progress - the photos were taken during the two-week framebuilding class in May '07. I've been filing and sanding fillets ever since.
All the parts are in house - wheels nearly built. I'm going to build it up for a test ride before I get it painted.
This is a track-only bike, with tight clearances and no accommodation for brakes. It probably won't see any racing action this year, since there's only a few weeks left in the San Diego Tuesday Night series.
