French track frame bought off here for track and (dry) road use.
Pretty much NOS, made of SLX.
First picture with some beater Condor wheels for road, and second with Record tubs for track (yeah, that front tub is flat).
Currently debating whether those Record wheels work, or whether I should get some DA black ones instead. If I stick with the records, I'd like to get a C-Record or DA crankset to match the silver...
Also, yes, short stem - I appear to have sold the 100mm one I had that fit the Criteriums. Seems to work on the short spin I've just had on it though, doesn't feel too cramped. I prefer riding further over the back wheel anyway.
And yes, needs a bigger chainring. I have a 52-18 set up on another bike that I can swap over when Herne Hill reopens to give me track gearing by swapping out the cog.
