Kalavinka "Street Tracker"

This was my Kalavinka "Street Tracker" built with Kasei tubing and upon my request, Akio Tanabe's first ever set of stainless steel track drops. The color is from a 1978 Mazda RX-7 and I requested it of Akio by it's Japanese market name of "Savanna RX-7". I built the bike up with mostly NJS parts. Although I had the fork drilled for a brake, I rode mainly on an enclosed bike racing course (not a velodrome) so I didn't need one. *You might have seen this same bike on "DerekRI's" page, the person I sold it to.* I loved this project and had all intentions of keeping it but as is often the case, too many bikes and only one to ride at a time...I also felt it wasn't any different than a great 'classic' 70's road bike like my old DeRosa, (and in fairness to Akio, this is his street model, not a keirin bike) and the anxiety of having something happen to it bike just made riding it an exercise in caution. Akio is a fantastic artisan and a bargain among the heady world of NJS builders! I designed the entire bike and color scheme and could do the same for your project, too...
