i have bought this track frame & fork a couple of weeks ago and i'm googling my arse off but cannot identify it. probably made in the sixties, bottom bracket is 1,37 x 24, British. stamped in the bb is the following:
NERVEX
59 a small 0 like a degree sign on top 3064 another small 0 022 a small 2 on the bottom f38.
and in big numbers in the bottom it reads 2027 so everything pretty much looks like this
NERVEX
59 0 3064 0 022 2 f38
2027
rear track style dropouts are Campagnolo. fork and rear stay are drilled to fit brakes.
it looks very much like a schwinn paramount (lugs, beefiness of rear stays) but it's a somewhat more refined build, with more detailing. also, the head tube holes (schwinn head tube logos I've seen were all attached with horizontally aligned fixtures) and absence of branding other than the nervex numbers might point in another direction. but which?
who can help? here's a couple of pics:

cheers to all and a happy new year
