  • It says in the eBay lot that the drilling of the brake and cage holes were done aftermarket, doesn't it??
    The bit that looks like a sheared mech hanger is a bit weird mind.

    It is a track frame which has been crudely modified for riding on the road for the following reasons

    • The drilling for the front brake is off centre and higher than it normally would be;
    • Holes in the down tube indicate an attempt to fit bottle cage bosses;
    • The crude attempt to allow additional clearance for an inner chainring;
    • A chopped off rear mech hanger has been welded and sudsequently ground off again, as evidenced by the residue of weld on the lower edge of the drop out.
