A pricey peach. Probably worth it.

Seller sells some nice stuff.
Fork is drilled for a brake which is unusual for a pure track bike. I would want to see a matching number on the fork.

But at least it can be Road legal with a brake. Though how those tubs would fare given the state of most roads...

drilled fork wasn't entirely unusual on amateur track bikes back then as it meant you could chuck a brake on it for training sessions, a quick swap of bars and you were back to track set up for the season. At least, most of the tat in the shed at Manchester velodrome pre commonwealth games has drilled forks for this reason, most of them being stuff others had donated so there were a few spares sat for new folk to try on. I dread to think what some of that tatt would be worth today but it almost all got binned when they track was relaid for the games in 2000.

I bow to your superior knowledge.

don't. it just happens that I spent time on the track back in the late 90's early 00's and I'm a geek.

We, unlike most forums, love geeks from whom much knowledge flows. Carry on being geeky!
