brown & green sparton track bike

sparton measures center-to-top of their seat tube. so my 58cm sparton does measure 56cm center-to-center. i would say if 53-54 is the right size track frame (remember, the bottom bracket is higher on track frames), then you could get a "56", which will actually measure 54 center to center. sorry about my last response on the price. some one/thing edited it, and locked it too.

well, i can tell you is that is mostly true. but also correctable. i aligned my dropouts, and decided to run it brakeless. the prices have gone up since i got mine @ 0 + shipping. maybe the quality has gone up too? some people really like them, and other people are disappointed. depends on the owner i guess. if you dont need lugs, an IRO or a kilo could be a good deal and much cheaper than a barenuckle.

considering what i paid, i am very happy with my sparton.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll probably get one just because of the fact that I've been itching to work on something new. I'll let you know how things work out.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!! Oh, that's good...

i was thinking the same thing about that place. (in case i ever change photos, we're talking about the purely decorative additions to the bay trail in oakland). at least i made use of it for velospace. i think the idea was to give people driving by a way to notice a trail they've never noticed. but maybe they could fix the lanes on high street with this kind of money, so i dont get killed just trying to get to the bay trail that's fine to begin with, and probably better off with less people and litter.

hey, i think that depends more on the cranks you select than anything else. the hub and BB shells are almost always the same specs for chainline. 103mm will work with sugino RD, 107mm will work with sugino XD. but do some more research, there might be many options.

thanks for the advice. I'll have the threads cleaned then. The cranks I'm using are some 165mm shimano 105s from the early 90s I believe. I'm still searching I'll let you know how it goes.

for one of the funniest Velospace bike images.

Gif for the win.

i measured 10.975" (27.62cm) to the floor from the center of the bb

a unique mix of colors, but you did it well

just added a close-up of the fork. also added a youtube video of the frame in the notes. i like the look of it. but maybe your fork is lighter?

hey, thanks for that man....the wheel clearance on the original fork isn't as tight as i would like it (over a 1 cm) plus im not a big fan of the unicrown....Im guessing that clearance is with 700 x 23 tires right?

its like less than 2mm clearance, but the tires were 700 x 26. now they are 23's. has about 5mm clearance now.
