Interesting frame ?

[PHL67]

Someone I know has this frame. I have asked for any serial number and bb picture. Any ideas ?

if anyone knows what it is …..could you give him a bell …..

Don't like the look of the rust on the underneath of the top tube. Are those a string of bells!

@PHL67 Crespa lugs and it's a track frame but with a double crankset.

No idea of make though - Carlton / Raleigh used these in the 1960's.

Not Crespera but a much earlier similar sort of lug. Probably older than you think.

Don't know what it is but that's a very nice track frame.

Good grief, grass track! Hated it, mainly because I couldn't sprint for toffee lol.

As midlife says that rust on the top tube needs investigation. Could spell the end of it as a project .

Everything can be repaired. Depending on what it is and for a price ?

Yes that's true, and only you can decide what is and what is not economically viable.

I like the frame but I don't like the hammerite.
