*they look to be non original track ends but I could be wrong, I've owned a few Hetchins track irons and none have had rear ends that pointed downwards in that way....one way to check is if the frame number is stamped on one of the rear track ends as they usually were, that would tell if they were original, (I'm getting anal now!) *

thanks i will also try to find out if the same number if any is stamped on the fork steerer tube.
