Went back to the westcountry this weekend, no track frames in my size, anywhere. Got back this morning, phoned in and explained, then went and bought a frame. Bob Jackson were quoting 7 weeks, and the 62cm steamroller that Brixton Bikes had turned out to be a 62cm box and a 59cm frame. Gutted.
Anyway, Cavendish Cycles sorted me out with a 62cm IRO angus, that black fork and the headset. Walking in the door - walking out the door, about 40 minutes. Recommended!
The rest was bodged off the frame that expired.

Apologies for pants pictures
And the knackered frame:

It folded up just behind the lug, and there's a nice little crinkle in the frame. Underneath the paint, it was actually pretty rotten. There's a little 2mm x 1mm hole in the underside of the tubing. To be binned. I'll stick the fork and headset in classified later on.
