might be persuaded to part with either of these framesets - i'd decided to keep the black one in the pics and sell all my other track bits (though that too i might be presided to sell too - it's an andy thompson atom - columbus sl or slx & sif1 ) - tiny clearance and tight track geo though .

or white one - van rees - UK 50s/60sboth likley cromo though van rees maybe 531 but-probably Accles&Pollock Kromo - forks are tange - not original but are correct geo
both are c.57/ 58cm and have good clearance, though orange has track fork with round blades and no drilling (though could be drilled. )
orange has very small bend on tubes and white need touch up under BB and here and there
both have really nice lugs - white is pearlesant paint - orange has cracked rattle can job really but is ok for use.
both quite relaxed - white more so, orange is Track legal BB height - i'd have to check the white. white one is probably from the time when people rode grass / shale outdoor track so may be classed as track and path

Reviving this thread: I'm looking to build my first bike, and am looking to find/use/restore a path racer or similar frame. I suppose that the best bet would be the Bay (and quite a few sellers seem to be based in London, which helps), but can any of you give my some help judging what sort of frames are suitable for path racer geometry, and would allow me to run larger wheels?
Any tips on judging frame sizes with the more relaxed geometry, if I find a frame. I'm about 6', with just over a 32" inside leg. I know the overall size depends on a lot of things, but I'm looking to use 28"/700c, and I hoped that some of you might have some experience on this sort of build.Thanks
I'm about to move back to town and I'm interested in a Vintage (or possibly new) Track frame. I like Vintage Path Racer Geo and Specs. Geometry's a bit more laid back and I can usually run larger tires. Let me know what you've got.
