One of the first Colossi builds from Tryon, Franco showcased a simple but mean build of his Al Colossione. This frame is a beauty showcasing a standard headtube and comes out as a classy build for the city. Cranks are of course Sugino Messenger to match up the lightness of the frameset and risers for commuting. I should say that this is one clean build for the latest drops of Colossi framesets here in Manila and deserves a bike check for my blog. Good vibes, Good rides! Have a nice wednesday ride.

Friday the 13th Mystery email: Raleigh Pursuit track

Hi guys, sorry for being busy at work. an email from my contact form came minutes ago from this mystery sender. Sharing his ultimate collections. Hopefully I can meet this legend and have him featured here.

"This red Raleigh used to be my time trial bike for the road. but was turned into a track frame last year by fitting it with track rear dropouts and removing the brake cable routes, water bottle mounts,

brazed on shifters and changer done by nelson dioquino. this has a size 60cm reynolds 531 tubing. shimano 600 aero seatpost, turbo saddle, cinelli handlepost with cinelli upturned handlebars, a usd20 lasco crankset from ebay, zipp disc wheel, a php140 black front bmx hub with 16 dt spokes mated to a black deep star rim. again, front wheel is using a 36h hub + 32h rim + 16 spokes.  the raleigh logo is from a waterslide decal sheet."
