Mass start 7005 track frame for NY state

 The finish on this is called 'super chrome'. It really looks like nickel plate, even though it is a powder coat. The frame is paired with a 40 mm rake Enve road fork- the closest thing in carbon I could find to a proper track fork.
 The mass start platform is made for general track events such as points race, miss-and-out and Madison. The idea is to have something that is solid for all these races and not a specific pursuit or sprint specific frame.
I hope that it makes the rider happy- I have a pretty long record of making bikes for the velodrome and will be displaying my first track frame, made in June 1978 . This will be at NAHBS in Sacramento in about 4 weeks.
