Title: Another of my Torkers
Post by: PlanetX on February 26, 2010, 08:14 AM: Always wanted one of these. It's never quite got to where I want it. It's sort of a replica of Eddy King's bike, but I could never get into doing it that way. Still not sure what I want to do. Kinda wish it was painted.

Brakes: Shimano Tourney (NOS) with Haro Handle (NOS) and Scott-Mathauser pads (NOS)
Seatpost: Race Inc. (NOS)
Saddle: Cinelli Unicaniter
Seat Clamp: Addicks (NOS)
Wheels: Araya 7Bs (reanodized), Phil Wood Hubs and Union SS Ppokes with Alloy Nipples
Tires: 20 x 2.125 Mitsuboshi Comp II Front, 20x 1.75 Mitsuboshi Comp II Rear
Cranks: Campagnolo Pista 172.5 with 43T chainring
BB: O.M.A.S
Freewheel: Shimano 333 16-tooth
Chain: D.I.D. chrome, 1/2 x 1/8"
