53/17 on one side and a 16t on the other side.
Im doing track cycling for PE, and using a local track(Forest town) and due to its strange shape, you cant really go much bigger(its got 4 courner and 4 straights and theres not much banking)

I know I've posted this bike before, but it's finished now! (Well, guards haven't arrived yet, but anyway...)

And this is what it used to look like...

It's turned out nicer and surprisingly lighter (for a gas pipe special) than I was expecting. I haven't weighed it since installing the crankset and chain, but before that it was 7.1kg. Not bad for a Halfrauds Apollo!

I don't think the purists would like it though... I've mixed Campagnolo and Shimano quite a bit! :blush::evil:B)

More pix of the build-up in my Flickr Photostream (link below).

Just got hold of this bit o'steel to run as a commuter bike:

I've had to replace the rear tyre and tube plus chain and cassette. The previous owner had already replaced the front tyre and tube, put on a new Brooks B17 and re-cabled the brakes. Perhaps not the prettiest bike but functional looking and unlikely to be the target of any chav scum looking to nick a bike!
