The Trackbike Cometh -- one gear for all streets?
Mood:  caffeinated
11-09-05: Temporarily borrowed the rear wheel from my fujifixed to get my Orero? track bike operational. 42x18 gearing for easy resistance braking, platform pedals (for now -- may add clips/straps) and nitto alu stem with steel bars and original cloth tape on the top half.

First time riding brakeless in a while and I end up gettign stopped by a cop. I'm thinking, crud, he's g0nna gimme a ticket for not having brakes. Turns out he just wanted to say "cool bike"(!). Who would've thunk it, a cop who likes bikes!

In the meantime, gonna clearcoat the frame to prevent rust ont he chrome lugs, etc. and tiny paint chips, as it's impossible to find matching touchup paint...
