Are you looking specifically for steel or alu? Have an alu track frame, drilled front and rear, blue - paint mostly perfect, one or two minor chips. Has carbon forks and seat tube. Looks like it might be a Dolan? that's a guess though, there's no branding on it anywhere
TT - 60cm,
ST - 55 C-C, 60 C-Tjust don't reckon i'm going to get round to building it... about £100? paid just under that for it on the bay - will check exact cost and you can pay what i paid if you want it. Let me know if you're interested and i'll get pics

I think a no someone who has a Youngs steel track frame in that size, no forks, paint a bit tired, price about £125.
Interested? let me know.

I will go see him, he is in Whitechapel, next week, if you get a frame pls let me no.
It is a track frame with track ends, not drop outs.
I think Youngs used to be in Lewisham?

I have the below frame. It's old steel, probably from the 70's, though I cant be sure. It a 'Plume Sport' - Made in Ghent (which I've been told preceded Plum). It's un-drilled front and rear. Nervex BB cluster, Campag fork crown.
I bought the frame a while ago, and it was in a fairly battered state - was pretty rusty, and had a very small crack in the top of the seat tube.
I had the seat-tube repaired (and have pics of the before and after), I also got a brand new pinch bolt brazed on. I blasted the frame, and then rust treated it. It has had a single undercoat, to prevent further rusting. It's a great frame, with a lot of history. I'm by no means desperate to sell, but if you're interested let me know.
Definitely 59cm ST, either 58 or 59cm TT (I can check if required)...Sorry about the massive pic.

A few pics of the frame with wheels. Tyres are 25c, you couldn't get much more than a 28c up front.
In the pics, you'll notice that the rear wheel is right back in the track ends (i.e. could be a lot tighter, both up against the seat-tube, and seat-stay bridge). Although My Phil Wood wheelset slips into the track ends with ease, this dia compe wheelset was a little tight - I could've pushed it all the way in, but I didn't want to scratch the undercoat too badly. I tried to take a pic of the cut out work by the rear bridge, but my camera is shit...
With the wheel pushed further into the track ends, the clearance is a fair bit tighter than this ^. The wheel as as far back in the track ends as poss in this pic.

Wanted: Track Frame 58/60
Posted by
@sLimJim
I hate wanted threads, especially those saying 'track frame, £50'. I'm letting myself down.
Been looking for chuffing ages for a new frame since I (stupidly) sold my Pearson to Crane, needless to say I have not found one. Even bought this, but it just wasn't right.
Looking for a track frame, drilled/ undrilled (not fussed) around 60cm c-t ST and 58cm c-c TT.
Have 150-200 GN to spend, collection in London preferred.
Cheers,
Jim
