Vintage Track Frame ( NO forks )
seat tube 55cm c-top
top tube 55 cm c-c
head tube 14cm
120 mm rear width
English threaded B/Bkt
531 db tubing
26.6 mm seat post
No brake drillings
Proper track frame , built in France ( possible Belgium) early 80's I would guess . Reynolds 531db with French '531' decal and metric ,slightly smaller diameter tubing ( hence odd size seat post size ). Really nice long point cut out lugs , chunky rear seat stays and integral A/key seat bolt. Obviously a quality hand made frame, the lugs have been thinned, and some nice detailed touches . Paint was really shabby when I got it , so most of it has been removed , mainly to check for any nasties, none found apart from a very small dent under the down tube. The head tube and B/Bkt have been faced , the B/bkt threads have been chased and the seat tube has been reamed.
Great project for someone , saddly too small for me (I would need 140mm stem to make the reach right which is a bit mad ) either strip the rest of the paint off and go raw , or paint it your dream colour. My old man picked up the frame for me from Devon of all places, unfortunatly I don't no it's history, there were no makers decals and theres no frame number.
