Some time ago I approached Ricky Feather to build me a track frame to celebrate my 40th year, with a brief of "do what you like" to a certain degree, Ricky set about his business. I have to say the finished result turned out pretty much as I expected with immaculate execution to detail!
Columbus Life tubes have very small tapers to the seat & chainstays giving a beefy appearance to the rear triangle, add to that Ricky's amazing torch skills & hand carved lugwork & I now have a truly one off track bike.
It didn't end there for me, for the last 12 years I've worked for the UK distributor of Shimano so when it came component choice it was easy, Dura Ace track all the way! Saddle & bar tape come courtesy of Selle San Marco's Concor in Shimano blue with added accents of the same blue on the frame this build is pure custom. Rounding off the package are Mavic Reflex CD 32h rims laced 3x with DT double butted stainless spokes to large flange Dura Ace hubs & Continental Sondeklasse 175 gram tubulars.
