Offering this up here initially. I know there are a few forumers who are into their classic track bikes. The geo and clearances are also appropriate for current use and wider tyres.
This south London frameset spent its racing days at Herne Hill and on the Catford and Bec hill-climbs, before going into storage for many years.
Unsure of age: late '60s to early '70s? It has the old GB downtube logo. Frame number 2309. Matching fork number.
23 1/2" seat tube c-t (60cm, 58cm c-c)
22" top tube c-c (56cm)
7" head tube (17.8cm)
38mm headset stack
100/118mm spacing (probably set at 118 so it could easily be used with 115 and 120mm rear hubs)
Frame weight 2150g
Fork weight 820g
Not sure of the tubing, but would guess 531.
Non-tapered seat stays, as was common on six-day bikes.
Fillet-brazed.
Lots of little paint chips and scrapes, and the original decals have flaked somewhat. It's only original once! No dents that I could spot.
Space for 28c tyres. I was going to use it as a winter fixed, but have gone down a different route.
£140 posted.
