Definitely imo. Waterbottle bosses, full braze-ons, low BB, rear brake bridge.
It doesn't really make a difference tho, so I wouldn't worry. Personally I'd have kept the mudguard eye's as they're useful and never really notice. But it's a really nice build, and you've done it to a budget, which always feels good.
Yeah I think you're right, I had suspected about the low BB and clearances and for £15 I guess I was expecting too much! That said, it was definitely a fun and cheap build so I'm happy.

Looks to me like a road frame with horizontal dropouts.
Do you think so, or are you being facetious? The track dropouts looked original - is there such a thing as a non-converted road bike with track dropouts?
I agree it's a shame about the braze-ons but it cost me sub-beater prices to do up so it's no great loss in that respect and at no point would I have used them.

I bought this frame for £15 via a couple of people on here, it was in pretty poor condition (bad paint work, seized bottom bracket/crank and seatpost) but I stripped the paint, removed the seized parts etc and got a neighbour to spray it for free.
Judging from the mudguard eyelets, average clearances and drilled rear brake (the former I must admit I removed) it looks to be a path not a track frame. It's quite light and has made for a good starting point for my first 'proper' build. Thanks to those that provided parts - still awaiting some better forks, chainring and a couple of other bits but for now I'm happy.





There's some more pretentious spiel and extra photos on my equally pretentious blog which can be found here.
