2010 Bishop Bikes Custom Track Frame . 56.5 x 54

Eason EC90 Track Drops, Fizik wrap, Thomson silver 100 stem

Edge Composites carbon track fork , Cane Creek 100 silver 1 1/8 headset

Zipp 808 Dimpled track wheel, Zipp polished hub, Zipp tangente tubular tire

Zipp 900 dimpled track disc , Zipp tangente tubular tire

Shimano Dura Ace 7710 , Shimano Ultegra 6500 bb

Fizik Antares 00 full carbon . Thomson silver 27.2 post

Shimano SPD-6700 , Izumi V super toughness

Shimano 49t , Sugino Zen 48 & 50t chainrings . Sutour 14t , EAI Superstar 15t & 16t cogs

This is my custom build Bishop track bike . Built completely to my body measurements, and is the best riding bike I've ever ridden. Its surreal that this started out as a box of tubes , and turned into something so beautiful . This bike is VERY stiff where it needs to be, responsive , accelerates quickly , yet doesn't kill you after riding it for 5 minutes. This is my commuter during the week, and will be on the track on the weekends. The tubulars never see the street, I have a set of mavic cxp12's laced to suntour superbe pro clinchers.

Dedacciai zero down tube
Columbus Life top tube
Reynolds 725 heat treated curved chainstays made exclusively for Serotta
True Temper S3 headtube (newest from TT , crazy stiff)
Dedacciai seat stays
Seat tube angle - 72
Head tube angle 74.5
bottom brack drop - 50 (same as the Look 496 track frame)

Stellar frame, overshadowed by garish wheels...

Submitted by chain suck on 09/27/2010.

Beautiful frame. I'm imagining it with some appropriate, old-school, low profile wheels. I'm sure the Zipps are great at speed, but they demand so much attention the frame kind of recedes into the background.

Oh, and Pearl Izumi makes [or rebrands] clothes and shoes. Izumi Chain Mfg Co makes chains.

Submitted by deermatt on 09/27/2010.

I didn't notice I typed that, but you really went out of your way to correct me on that? Also, the wheels and the frame work great together . I wanted a modern , steel bike, and its what I got . Super stiff , and responsive .

just being thorough

Submitted by chain suck on 09/27/2010.

Well, you went out of your way to write a very detailed description, right down to each tube, so I'd think you'd want it to be accurate. And it's not like you're shy with your opinions.

they are the cane creek

Submitted by deermatt on 05/18/2010.

they are the cane creek track hubs. They are reverse pull, straight spoke hubs , so the nipples are at the hub instead of the hoop to reduce rotational weight and for a stiffer wheel.

It wasn't indecisive , each

Submitted by deermatt on 05/14/2010.

It wasn't indecisive , each tube has its own characteristics . The down tube and the seat tube both get progressively bigger towards the bottom bracket shell, the true temper S3 headtube is heavier than the other tubes , but very very stiff. He used thinner tubes where he could for weight savings . The same tube is not always the best for every part of the bike .

Submitted by nononopositivism on 05/13/2010.

Your bike is rad. Congratulations. Chris is an amazing framebuilder and a super nice guy. I got him to build me a frame last fall, which I'll be posting here just as soon as he finishes building me a stem for it (the Deda stem I have on it now doesn't do it justice). Anyway, you've got a beautiful bike.
