Rating for bike above mine: 7.5 or 8/10. I like that it has true Horizontal dropouts, and is a dedicated track/fixed bike....but for some reason the colour scheme doesn't flow for me...For example, gold cranks are nice, but I would use a black chainwheel in the front Smile (just my opinion...but still very nice!)

*****************

One of my many commuter/roadie bikes I have owned...it's my current/temp bike until i find a nice track frame (horizontal dropouts).

This one is in museum condition... I purchased it locally from private hands. It has a full shimano group (brakes, hub, cranks, drivetrain), modolo bars, and the only thing that is NOT original is the seat (and the beautiful Christmas ribbon style bartape lol). Heck, even the rubber hoods on the brake levers are still sticky and super grippy (none of that smooth hard plastic cracked stuff you find in 80s bikes).

^7/10 Would definitely be a 9/10, but Im not a fan of the Shimano Crankset. It looks out of place on most bikes I think. Everything Else looks solid though!

6/10 The front wheel kills it. Those old zipp wheels are pretty weak at best. 4/10 if it's a sew up. They are cool for the track but for the street that's SKETCH. And I hate square taper anything, it's outdated crap.

Currently with a gold 30MM hplus son and chub hub front wheel. There's also a set of time clipless pedals on there too. I'm waiting on a gold set of race face cranks and chainring to be available to go with my shiny new king BB.

Since AZ Freeride didnt rate yours, Ill do that! 6/10. If you had used the stock fork, it would look much better. And ditched the freeride cranks, and mismatched wheels. However your Frame and rear wheel are sweet! I really like the gold with the grey frame, and Chub Hubs are awesome!
