I thought that frame looked awfully familiar. I mean, there were only eleven, what are the odds that there would have been two red 61cm track frames with the fork drilled for a brake? Sure looks different that when I had it. Brian did a really masterful job in bringing it back to it's original glory without totally refinishing it. And I have the pictures to prove it!

I'm also happy to see it in the hands of someone who appreciates what it is, and someone that will ride it. If it had been my size, I'd be riding it now. These things were built to be ridden, and it's great to be able to experience these wonderful devices when the opportunity arises.
