it's listed as a track frame, and the measurements seem to bear that out (st is 24.5" and tt is 22") but it's drilled for front and rear brakes.

(i wondered initially if it was a path racer, but from other posts to the list i've gathered that path racers tend to have tt's that are longer than the st. i'd be interested in hearing any comments about the reason for that, if anyone cares to weigh in).

from what little i know of british this was normal for the time, is that correct?

usual disclaimers apply: no relation to seller, i was out of town that weekend, it must have been that other fellow who looks like me, etc.
