For Sale: 653 Swinnerton 24" wheel track Lo-pro frame

Here we have my lovely fillet brazed Roy Swinnerton of Stoke-on-Trent track frame Reynolds 653 24” front wheeled track lo-pro, late 80s/early 90s. The brazing is of an amazing quality, and this could well have been built by George Longstaff, who built frames for Swinnerton.

It has some crazy geo, but its lovely to ride on the bullhorns, and insanely quick and stiff (has a lugged bb cluster). I’ve had it for a few years now, only put about 20 miles on it on dry Sundays and i’m only selling it as i’ve not really used it that much recently, and its a touch small for me.

The vital stats:

Top tube : 57cm c-t-c (effective tt of approx 54cm)
Seat tube : 54cm c-t-c
Front wheel: 24”
Rear wheel: 700c
Front spacing : 100mm
Rear spacing : 120mm

The decals are simple vinyl cut jobs, on top of the powdercoat (with a nice metallic lacquer) the proper ones are still available from Swinnerton cycles in Stoke on Trent.

Frame + campagnolo pista h/s - £275

I also have a 24” 28H campag track hub on a Wolber Profil 18 Titane Manganese tub rim, only ever used indoors, still with BCF sticker on it...
