First of all, it's a nice frame, and a nice paint job.
I doubt very much if it was made by the shop - likely to be bought in and sprayed. Overall, a track frame was pretty standard in those days, but the top eyes would make me suspect Gios Torino as the builder, in Italy.
Hmm, I've researched some into Gios frames and the seat stay caps do match, also the fork looks similar to those used on some Gios models.
However, the lugs do not match. Are there any other italian frame builders that use similar looking stay caps? -

I've got this track bike which came with a converted road hub, i.e redished and spaced to 120mm, I have been told that that works on the track. However, I intend to use it on the street and therefore, suicide is not the way to go.
Would it be worth the hassle to convert the rear wheel back to a road wheel?
How would I go ahead and do it?
What would it be worth if I sold it?Mavic Mach 2 CD2-rims with 32H lowflange campagnolo hubs (athena?) with barely used Vredestein Fortezza Pro, the spokes has SAP writing on them, which I guess stands for Sapim?

Anyone know the origins of this Belgian track bike?
Repainted somewhere in the early 90's
Italian threaded BB shell and campa dropouts. Tubing unknown but probably columbus

It's belgian, although the BB is italian threaded so I don't really know what's under the paint. It came with a campa BB and headset so I'm guessing it's something italian under there, unless belgian built bikes also used that stuff.
