This is an interesting split seattube track bike. This from the description: Not mine. Item number: 110276919958 Lou Deeter, Orlando Florida, USA

"Chuck Schlesinger of SadiLah Handmade Framesets in San Diego, CA built this 1890's Fowler "Safety Bicycle" inspired replica for me with his very first split seat tube (google the Fowler Safety Bicycle and you'll see some museum pics of the originals). It is NOT drilled for a brake in the front and it would be a challenge to mount a rear brake for sure-so this was true to it's roots. Some features include- Pacenti track drops, Henry James lugs and fork crown, custom Art Nouveau inspired lettering (at my request) and of course, that very trick split seat tube! I had wanted this bike to use 27" wheels, REPEAT-27" rims/tires, however, you can run 700's, it's a VERY SMALL difference in size and you'll have lots of tire clearance for BIG sizes like 32's, etc. The frame material was Chuck's option and I don't recall what he used but it is good stuff and the frame and fork weigh in at approximately 6-6.5lbs (my guess on a bathroom scale). The dimensions are as follows: 58cm c-c Seat Tube 60cm c-top of TT. 59cm c-c Top tube."
