Campy Only's Fixed Gear Raysport

February 2006--We've added another fixed gear machine to our stable. Shown below is our Raysport Super Corsa, a road machine that has been converted into a fixed gear. The story of the Raysport is fairly interesting--it was built in Mexico in 1975 by Ian Alsop, a former British racer, for a bike shop in St. Louis, MO, that was owned by Raymond Florman (hence the "Raysport" name). You can read more about the history of the Raysport frames here.

Notes and specs:

	Raysport frame--Custom-drawn Reynolds 531 frame and fork; Prugnat lugs; blatant copy of a Cinelli Speciale Corsa; unusual Campagnolo 1060 vertical dropouts; chrome lugs and fork crown
	Super Record crankset converted to a single chainring; Nuovo Record bottom bracket
	Super Record seatpost
	Record Titanium Pro-Fit pedals
	Modolo "Speedy" front brake; Nuovo Record levers
	Cinelli bar and stem (donated)
	Mavic CXP-22 rims laced to house brand (Nashbar) hubs
	Decals on the frame are reflective--a nice touch. They sit on top of the paint (no clear coat)
	Chain line came out right without any adjustments. We used a "half link" from Harris Cyclery to get the chain length spot on.
