Rossin Olympic Track Frame
Spotted this track frame from Ebay quite some time ago, a Rossin track frame designed for the Russia national cycling team during the 1988 Olympics.
The frame design is awesome, I was thinking to get it and convert to fixie, but I am afraid that I can't find the parts that suit this frame, so I gave it a pass.
Hopefully someone bought this frame, convert to fixie, and show me!

Bike Shop Check #1
KL FIXED are always on a lookout for bike shops around town and we will share our findings with all of you. The first shop check on the list is The Bike Boutique. This shop stands out among the rest in town as it has a more lifestyle feel to the it. The store carries mostly Road & Mountain bikes, the norm among cyclists in this part of the world. The staff are super friendly and a big shout out to Benny for staying so late n taking the time to show us around.
Road bikes
Single speed mountain bike - we love the color
HED wheels!!! We would love to have one of these any day
The first proper bike fitting machine in Malaysia
Service area - fxi had some probs with his chain
A close friend's five figure road race bike
Bike storage area for riders that have limited space at homeWe were also informed by Benny that the store also has a "Bike Spa" where riders can chill, take a nice shower after a ride or even have a dip at their swimming pool located at the roof top. All in all a very nice bike shop indeed, just not really catered towards us, the fixie bunch.
Nonetheless, the Bike Boutique is worth a visit and they are located at Damansara Perdana, right next to Citibank. Hit up their website for the address.
