This is a stunning Volante track frame set built with Bates patented Cantifllex tubing – this is a larger diameter in the centre of each of the three main tubes and builds a really responsive stiff frame and together with the registered design Diadrant forks and attractive hand cut lugs,make a very distinctive frame.
23" seat tube 22" top tube-I'll need to double check these dimensions along with the rear spacing tonight.
No mudguard fittings but it is drilled for a rear brake,either could be altered easily when it is painted.
It came to me with at least two coats of hammerite,so I had it bead blasted by a frame builder to check for structural problems,but it is in excellent condition.
