Someone got a real bargain on that Mercian 953 track bike some idiot had tried to use as a road bike posted earlier. £246!

and he's got positive feedback so for it so the sale went though, fuck, I should have bid.
The fact that he stretched (cold set?) the rear from 120 tot 130 kind of scared me. Assuming anybody in their right mind would want to use this with 120mm wheels, you would have to bent it back into place...
It's steel and the bending would be along the length of the stays so I'd be fine with it.
It's just 5mm per side. Nothing to be scared of
