Vivalo Special - NJS

[HiKenny!]

Hey all,

Just new to the forum, but I thought I'd quickly share a build I've just recently finished.

This build has taken me just under 2 years to complete – for the most part the frame camped under my bed collecting dust, I also made the pricey decision of picking up all new parts so pieces were few and far between… regardless of the damage to my bankroll, it’s up and I’m pretty happy with the result.

I'll aim to put up some detailed snaps also.

Looks like the wait was worth the back injury. Lovely!

That ST angle is awesome.

Nice colour. I've got a similar frame but in dark grey.

Yeah, bit of a back breaker - I give it a couple of weeks before I switch out the Jag for a pearl.

...For the track?

I'll use it for commuting, but yeah I definitely have plans to get it on the track! I'm building up a 2nd wheelset (tub) which should hopefully be all set for next track season.

Ha! no doubt a while in the making - I kind of lost motivation to build it after I collected the frame, it wasn't until I sold my previous track bike that it kicked off the movement to do something.
