Steel track frame and fork going to Japan



Yes- this one is going to the other side of the world. The shop that ordered this oe had a cad drawing and very specific instructions. Apparently  imported frames must have the ability to mount brakes so that's why you see a hole in the fork and a brake bridge on a frame that otherwise would not have one.


 
The fork is a straight blade with NOS Shimano dropouts. The frame has NOS Sub-11 dropouts -my very last set. I have other track dropouts but these are the best to work with for a welded frame. They are also pretty much indestructible. Frame weight is 4 lb. 2 oz.
