"Did they actually run PATH-bikes on track? That one has mudguard eyelets.."
Path bikes were popular from the 1930's to the early 1960's as this period being the austerity years most serious cyclists had only one bike which doubled up as a commuter/club run bike (....hence the mudguard eyes) then mainly at weekends used in competition for time trials or track use where the mudguards would then be removed and the rear wheel flipped round to give a higher gear, thats why you see a lot of vintage track ends with mudguard eyes!
