1970 BRIDGESTONE TRACK BICYCLE

This weeks “Japanese Bicycle of the Week” is a 1970 Bridgestone Track Bicycle. This Japanese track bike was heavily influenced by track enthusiasts Covi Hazelwood of Two Wheeler Dealer and Trent Blackburn.

The wheels that were picked for this bike were a set of Suntour Superbe Pro/Sun Mistral track wheels from Blueprint Bikes of Dallas, TX. Furthermore, sticking with the same theme, the builder choose a Suntour Superbe Pro headset as well.

Eventually the project was destined for completion. Consequently, Blueprint Bikes posted a beautiful vintage Bridgestone track frame for sale. Additionally, the owner’s father had a Suntour Superbe Pro seatpost and crankset lying around which he let him use for the build.
