Cambridge Bicycle Custom Track

So the Cambridge crew asked for something special to be built up for their "Nitto Gold" project.
Only the finest mix of Columbus tubes were used to build a true velodrome frame. While the fork received a very special pair of old stock Reynolds fork blades. All expertly put together to provide a stiff and strong platform capable of withstanding the demands of the banked walls and a riders powerful sprint. An artful use of stainless steel accents catches the eye and draws it along the clean lines. The top and bottom of the head-tube are ringed in stainless as is the top of the seat-tube which forms the handmade seat binder. Of course the drop-outs are stainless too. Oh, and who could forget the tops of the fork blades, those are capped in stainless as well. They really illustrate the unique look of the new england segmented fork crown. A clean, elegant and undoubtedly high performance piece of craftsmanship that surpassed all expectations.

When the guys assembled this frame with the limited run of gold NJS track components it really did become something special. Don't even get me started on the gold San Marco Rolls saddle. What a bike!
