My Diamant Tarck Bike

Some time ago I wrote about a pile of parts I had scored from the 'bay with the intention of building one more fixed gear bike, or a tarck bike, for myself. Well, here it is finally in action. 

An East-German 1970s Diamant track frame, unknown older Italian road fork, Sugino Mighty crank and a pile of mixed parts. The fork is probably not made by Colnago like it was supposed to be, and I decided to save the Dura-Ace BB for another project and used a cheap sealed cartridge BB instead. 

(tnts from the yksivaihe.net took the photo, thanks!) 

Sugino 75 In Rainbow Colors

While I'm not the biggest fan of anodized and color coordinated bicycle parts (because they mostly remind me of the 1990s MTB style), I must admit that the full range of anodized Sugino 75 cranksets and chainwheels pictured above in all these colors looks so nice. 

The pics are from, yes you guessed it, Japan.
