This is another project that never got off the ground and I've resigned to the fact that it never will, hopefully someone else can restore her to her former glory.
Classic 1950s/60s British hand-built BSA track/path frame. Still sports some of its original metallic blue paint but a fair bit of it has been lost/rubbed back. Original head badge.
The frame is in pretty good nick, there is no major damage or corrosion.
The only issue is that it's had some weird braze-ons added to the forks and stays at sometime in its life, a couple of which have been poorly removed (one has been done particularly badly, whoever removed it has cut or filed a small hole into the seat stay [see photo]. This could be easily welded up or filled). It also has two small dimples in the top of the seat stays (most likely due to a clamp on rack having been fitted at some time in it's life), they are of uniform size and position on both stays.
Comes with bottom bracket (121.5mm square taper) and original headset, seatpin bolt missing.
Has light bracket braze-on on fork, pump pegs (including vintage pump) and oil port for headset.
Measurements:
Seat tube (C-T) - 53.5cm
Top tube (C-C) - 56cm
Down tube (C-C) - 59cm
120mm rear hub spacing
Takes 26.8mm seat post.
