Yap, I'm pretty sure the front wheel has seen a brake, which would make sense given that the fork is drilled) but I don't think the rim had a breaking surface. So before I give it the rest I'd rather polish it up and use another front wheel for road use. I did some Research and found out that the crank is a very rare TA specialities Track crank from the second generation which fits a square taper bottom bracket. Unfortunately the NDS side got lost somewhen. So I either have to find a NDS arm or mount and adapt the Campy strada cranks. Judging from the TA cranks, I'm now fairly sure it's a 60s bike and not from the 70s. But I guess I have to wait till the package arrives, doing the Research on the basis of the crappy photos that I have so far is a bit of a waste of time.

Can't quite tell from the photo, but it looks as though the front wheel has seen a brake ?
Judging by the front brake and strap hanging from the saddle (for a spare tub) I'd imagine it's seen a fair bit of road use.
Great find anyway, looking forward to seeing it built up
