Anthony La Paglia’s Trackshark

Haha I did think when I looked at those photos before uploading that it looked like pictures of 2 bikes..

Yeah never come across a need for them before, the seatclamp bolt was a little loose with a 5mm so wonder if that is too?

Ah that’s what they’re called, thanks. Guess mid 80s was not the time to be thinking of any kind of wide tyres on a track frame to consider putting them in. Is that relatively easy to do if I find a good frame builder locally, would hate to do that to the paint, but could just be considered patina?

It was from an annual bicycle auction in a town called copake in northern New York. Only came across it because the link was posted on the forum. there were a bunch of his going and that was quite the selling point, wonder if he’s in trouble or just old and being chauffeured?
