Description: Hand built at the original Waterford plant in Wisconsin for their 50th anniversary. Yes, really. I love this bike. It was my steady/daily ride for many many years (and it shows), but am too old now to be riding a brakeless track bike, in Seattle no less. Still, not riding it it feels like keeping a vintage sports car in a barn under a tarp - not cool. I'll be sad to see it go but want it to go somewhere well it will get love/ridden. note: the pics are a bit out of date. It currently has a vintage Campy Chorus Aero seatpost & Selle Italia Flite saddle, NOT the Thomson stem / SLR saddle but everything else is the same.
