Sig_Arlecchino-
I had a conversation with the Grubb marquee enthusiast of the VCC and, albeit not 100% sure, he think it may not be a Grubb.
If it was, it would be one of those build in a "dark period" of the Grubb bicycles, where nothing is yet known. The period of 1952 and 1953 as soon as the brand went under Holdsworth. Which would be a rare find. Still, it would be a frame with some peculiarities.
One is the straight brake bridge. All the ones that came from under Holdsworth have a curved bridge.
The other is represented by the seat stays eyes. Here are double fluted, which is not like anything he's seen on a Grubb.I do agree with him as in my little research I also noticed those discrepancies.
Would be nice to know something about that fork crown and the tubing of this frame (plain or double butted 531)

So I got this Freddie Grubb (Holdsworth's made) track/path frame, but have a little troubles in correctly dating it. It looks like it was made during the first years under Holdsworth (i.e. mid 50s), but would love some more reassurance so that I could more period-correctly build it up.
So any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
