I just picked up and built this frame at V-L's house, I am in love with the tight clearances and short TT.
This frame has changed hands on the forum a few times, DoktorP had it first and it looked like this at first with Gazelle track forks. (pics from for sale ad)
He then built it up like this
It was sold to V-L and he built it up a few different ways.
He built it like this for the track
And later like this for le hhsb
I have now built it up as a commuter for the winter with a DiaCompe clamp on brake.
When HH opens up I'll build it as a track bike again but for now this is how it looks.
Front clearances are tight and there's tons of toe overlap but that's what makes track bikes on the road fun :)
Not looking as good as it could but I'm damn happy with it and how it rides!
Apologies for the large and rather shit pics, I'll get better ones tomorrow when there's better light.
