Love that chainset , I've been admiring the track adaptors Hilary Stone has for sale.
Currently I'm getting my 1954 world championship sprint to a more period correct state, the rims have to change and I have a nice 49d stronglight chainset all I need is a strong light bb axle about 113/14 mm anyone got one going spare?

Picked up a mystery 50's track frame of ebay a few weeks back, with an old repaint-job. Came with a period Stronglight crankset on TA track adaptor ring that was impossible to remove from the frame (the drive side crank had had the crank removal threads stripped and re-cut at a larger diameter so wouldn't fit any of my crank-pullers, not even a Stronglight one)
It turned out to be a JA Holland road/track from 1950's with very tight clearances for the period (at least on 27 1 1/4 wheels).
Have decaled it with some reproduction decals posted to me by a very nice chap in the US from Retrobike who sent them to me for free, redone the lug-lining in red and built it up for now with some spares from the Viking I sold a while ago.
Not sure I'm really happy with the lug-lining so may rub it back and try again.
