My first “proper” track bike, built in 1967 by Rattrays in Glasgow. It’s old enough that that back end is 110mm spaced rather than 120mm!

I ran it single speed for a couple of years before moving to fixed last year. Scored off a 100km earlier in the year but haven’t been out on it much recently.

Rather than build it up with period correct parts I decided to go current era track with Shimano 7710 hubs, cranks, chainring, 1” threaded headset, vintage GB Spearpoint stem (110mm), vintage GB Maes bars (38cm), Nitto seatpost, Brooks C17 saddle and rounding it out with Mavic OpenPro UST rims.

On the lookout for a dura ace seatpost and stem to round things out – gutted I sold a DA aero post about 10 years ago!
