I cant seem to search properly but a pal of mine has a big bike/frame that might suit @Rouleur75 is his handle so search his threads

Cheers, it's a lovely bike but I'm after frame only, no braze-ons, purely for track :)

Haha, yeah man, you've seen me! Maybe I need to work on my posture?
Problem with that frame is, it's too lovely. I need something cheap and slightly knackered that I can take to HH and not be too worried about breaking. If you ever get rid of the Ridley, let me know!

Why would you break it at herne hill. Unless you plan on crashing then you'd be fine and it's not mad expensive for a full build, get it / stick some nicer cranks on.
But if it's not for you then fair enough :)
There's always the pre-cursa for a cheap starter? The 60 of them is pretty big, very cheap if you already have a fork too. (Guessing it's not big enough tho)

Yeah it's partly the idea of potentially crashing. My Dedacciai was a gift and means a lot to me, so I'd rather avoid breaking it. Plus, since getting my Kinesis I want to stick a disc fork on the Dedacciai and leave it set up as my fixed road bike.
Would like to have a cheap alu thing made of 2nd hand bits (got almost everything except frame ready to go) that'll do for the track and I won't be too precious about.
I did try a 60cm Dolan for a bit, but found it very long and low, so I gave it to my little brother. He's not doing anything with it, so maybe I'll build it up but would prefer something with a longer HT and shorter TT.
I'm after a big track frame. I guess ideally alu, nothing too fancy/expensive as I intend to actually ride it on the track.
I'm 6'6" so the bigger, the better. HT probably needs to be at least 215mm. Should be 1 1/8 or bigger ahead, no quills please.
I've got a suitable fork already, but if it comes with one that could be fine.
Let me know what you've got!
