This is a Volume Cutter, a popular frame for “trick track” with clearance for bar spins and welded gussets on the top tube and down tube that help strengthen it.  Size 59cm, frame dimensions can be found here.  I stripped and re-painted the frame, including a brand new chrome fork.  This is the first time I’ve made a careful, detailed effort to do a cool paint job and it worked out really well.

I added a hand-laced Surly wheelset with Mavic Open Pro / DT Swiss rims, and a lot of brand new parts: track crankset, tires, pedals, seatpost, chain, saddle, bars, and brake lever.  The stem is a Thomson look-alike, and the brake is a sweet vintage Campagnolo Victory caliper.   More pictures after the jump…
