"Il Calabrone" - The Hornet










Built from the frame up. Had the frame for a few months and didn't really know what to do with it. It's a 52cm Cramerotti Aluminum frame, traditional track racing non-compact geometry.
Had the rear wheel w/ 8-spd casette laying around, as well as the flat handlebar and SPD mountain pedals from before I switched to road cleats.
Most of the other parts were sourced from Oak Bay Bikes: cranks, front wheel, tires, shifters/levers, grips, seatpost and stem adapter to convert the old quill stem to threadless in order to accept the oversized handlebar mounting point.
Saddle was sourced from usedvic for $20.

The parts are by no means fancy or expensive. Apart from the tires, stem, seatpost and grips, everything else was taken from the used/extra/junk bin of the Oak Bay Bikes shop.

Contemplating downsizing to a single front ring as the bike accelerates and maintains decent speed going around town. The entire setup is so light, it takes next to nothing to sprint uphill. Fun little bike, fun build, too!











SRAM grip shift.




SRAM grip shift.






I changed out the 7 speed Shimano trigger for this SRAM 8 speed grip shift. Despite being somewhat of a cheaply made part, I've found this grip shifter to be both extremely precise, and mechanically simple, which is good.

I'm new to the grip shift world, but I think I much prefer the action over triggers. I feel much more in control of the bike.
