50cm or 21" track frame front drilled. Do you have anything?

After having a mare with an off the peg track frame (bit too big even at 52cm), does anyone have anything in say 531, 753, columbus SL etc. Classic light steely. Must be willing to post to a northern monkey. Inside legs 30" in old money. Cheers all, I appreciate I don't post much but would be very grateful for any help on this. Piccies would be cool.

On your properly fitted track bike , what would your saddle top to BB centre measurement be in cm ?

I might have just the frame for you ..... or even a whole bike !

Well allister really its to suit a 30" inside leg with about 5"of post sticking out I guess,

Say measured top of seat tube to centre of BB should be 50cm. Cheers

I want to swap all my parts over in an ideal world.

Mixing cm and inches that may come out at around 63cm saddle top to BB centre, we usually say less than 66cm consider a track frame with 650c wheels to get the correct geometry and decent bike fit.

Small frames seem to be a quite a premium at the moment , good luck with your search .

Good idea, I had a FELT TK2 and that was deadly on the road with a whacking overlap!

Yep, thats usually the penalty for getting smaller than 51cm with steep track geometry, absolute death trap on a road going bike :-(

Yep in traffic it was, umm, challenging.

I've got a 21" Condor Pista frame, carbon forks....I have 30" inside leg. I can find pics if you're interested PM me......

Found a pic.....

Thanks flash, don't think it's for me but appreciate the effort. Looks similar dims to mine actually from the headtube, I'm measuring centre to top. I'd prefer dropout tensioners if anyone else has anything?

Actually you're right. I just measured it. 22" CTT seat tube. I always thought it was 21"......

BMUP. Not after some hipster sled, just something light, either columbus or reynolds, or a nice alloy at a pinch 49 - 50cm. Just a purposeful tool. Fnarr.

Close tonight but had to get the whole bike just to get the frame, so talked myself out of that.

You know you want it ....

Can be drilled for a recessed bolt brake on request .

Aw heck just realised it's not a fixie. I was briefly feeling good about Tuesday!

Beautiful frame though.

Thanks guys, now sorted... it seems another cycling muse has kicked in. Watch the classifieds with interest. Lol.
