Post 2 – Beautiful FGG finds
For a little while now I’ve been noting the bikes that really stick out in my mind when I browse FGG. I try to stay away from super fancy pursuit frames or Pistas with absurd upgrades and focus on a combination of aesthetics and unique\interesting buildups. They are in no particular order.
Schwinn LeTour winter beater buildup
meo trackbike – handbuilt by ‘Meo’ in zurich
1976 Schwinn Paramount short-couple frame
custom rigid MTB frame fixed
Colnago Super Pantografata 1973
1966 Pogliaghi Stayer Bike from vienna
Tommasini Prestige – campy buildup
folding bike, hand laced wheels
And my personal favorite track frame I’ve come across:
Peugeot track frame from the 60s
That peugot will always have a place in our hearts
Dude, fuck the Peugeot, remember this one?

gross juan
Blasphemy!
That Peugeot is beautiful. That soviet style pursuit frame is strange.
i love the peugot a lot.
After reading Sheldon Brown’s article about his experiences with a Raleigh twenty I’ve become obsessed with finding one to ride.
Ditto! Especially after seeing this conversion
