Why are the track ends not on straight.. ?
It's not a proper track frame that's why - it's a badly done conversion on a standard low/mid range road frame - they obviously brazed the track ends on with the chainstays horizontal instead of lining up the two axles...

Too long for me :(
I'm convinced that this is not a track chainset. It is a Campag (Victory?) double with only one ring fitted.

buy it, compare with your build, sell the loser.

Umm... the GT will win no doubt, hwever I quite like my new bike and it would be a shame to let it go so soon after completion, I would love to have both. I'm gonna have a wee bid but won't let myself get carried away.

I agree with you, otherwise he would show a pic of 170 pista marking on the inside of right crank and ask much higher price... Have a look at his other auctions his asking £110 for Super Record headset - top cone of headset have no cutouts/holes so its not SR road or track headset, it might be record. It doesn't make any sense to sell pista crankset cheaper than headset..

everything you need to know is here
http://www.londonfgss.com/thread5205.htmlFor the same money you could convert an 80s/90s racing bike, and it would be of far superior quality plus you'd learn a thing or two about your bike in the process.

As you will hear on this board many times,
Don't go near Unipack. Save your money for something better...(can't say more as I never seen nor used one, but the word is that it's total Crap)

@meek.tv
there were a couple Unipaks on brick lane this weekend - up close the quality doesn't look too good

Asked same question and no answer either!
No feedback either, bit dodgy?
I need this bike ok so nobody bid please. ;)

The clearances suggest it does - unless it has super tight vertical dropouts.
