My next project - A KBedford track frame

Living near, and being friends with, a frame builder has some advantages. I rode by Kelly's shop and we got to talking about building a track frame. He said he had some parts and quickly pulled out the Everest track crown, round Reynolds fork blades and Technociclo rear track dropouts.

Now to decide on geometry lugs, or fillet brazing etc.

KBedford track frame

Definitely for the track, hence the track fork crown - which is not drilled for a brake caliper and the round track blades.

Looking forward to this one too.

And that track fork crown screams for lugs to go with it!

Just one opinion...

Good on you Russ

If I was not buying an RV next year and looking at Electric Folding bikes I would be ordering a Carbon SST lugged bike from him now.
