For Sale: Evans track frame - 1970s

F.W.EVANS TRACK FRAME - 1970s - WITH MATCHING FORKS

F.W.Evans built frames in London from 1921 onwards - this one from the 1970s was built at the cut and is a somewhat superb example or a large sized track frame. The original paintwork is in amazing condition and it has very few marks as well as some very beautifully crafted lugs. Altogether makes for a very rare track frame from this maker... £275 or nearest offer ... p.m. me or dibs applies... will accept local pickup from central Bristol or will consider posting.

Seat Tube: 59cm
Top Tube: 58cm
Rear dropout width: 110mm
Wheel size: 700C
Bottom bracket threads: English

Have got lots more pictures on request.

Thanks

You might wanna make that pic a bit bigger...

I can't make out the decal, what does it said?

sorry.. just sorted the images out... have another look

Wish I'd kept my Geoff Butler red looking at that. Red bikes go fast!

This is true, I just got a red Bob Jackson, it goes like shit off a shovel and all because it is red!

price now dropped to £275

this one from the 1970s was built at the cut on waterloo road

the cut and waterloo road are 2 different roads

the rear dropout seems similar to mine..
but different lug.

the cut and waterloo road are 2 different roads

Time for a merge.

The orginal shop was on Kennington Road....they moved to the Cut sometime in the 1970s

Ewan, I'm pretty sure that I am the newest owner of that FW Evans Track frame.

From what I have managed to find, with some obsessive searching, is that there have been two owners in Perth, Western Australia. It's been used as both a track bike and street fixie.
I just arrived here on Tuesday; just North of Sydney and I am building it up into track bike again to race at the local velodrome (outdoor track really).
If you have any information regarding the frame's history, I'm very keen to have aloof at it.

Cheers,

Big fingers, or autocorrect?
