After months of fruitless searching for a 56square track frame one landed in my lap Friday night.
Dave Welsh handed me this beautiful ‘Ken Self’ frame at the last track meet. It had been hanging in his garage since he last raced it in 1978. Dave was happy for me to have it, as he was keen to see it being raced again.
So today was spent in Clintons garage cleaning it up. The bottom bracket and headset were stuffed but everything else was a-ok. It came equpped with Campy pista cranks, Sugino Super-Mighty ring, some old school track pedals and a Cinelli seat. Nice eh.
Hoping to have this machine up and running for the second round of track racing after christmas!
So hot.
I’m in the market for another Ken Self frame, someone hook me up!
Nice frame mate – keen as to see it all together.
