<< oming with the stem, or more accurately I suspect, the stem came on a track frame which has the facility (or hazard perhaps) of removable seatstays.

Tom: Lucky fellow! You obviously have come upon a Eragim "Harmonic".. Very rare & unique bike in which you could buy various replaceable seat stays, each "tuned" differently for different riders weights and styles. I can remember the first advert I saw for those bikes: "Make sweet music on your new Harmonic" I thought we might see one of those at the Cirque last year when the event was in April but likely not now that it will be in June...
