54cm Unknown Vintage Track Bike Frame
£221.25 £295.00
✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1960s/70s

This unknown steel track frame has a number of quality features and probably dates from the 1960s or 1970s. Though there are no identifying marks or stamps, the five digit frame number implies it was built by a small volume builder and the fork dropouts are by Simplex, so perhaps pointing to a French or British builder. Regardless of where it was made, and by whom, the frame is very well put together with lovely long point lugs, a Fischer 'twin plate' fork crown and heavy duty rear dropouts. The fork has been drilled for a brake but the rear has not.
The frame's been carefully checked by one of our mechanics to confirm the alignment's correct and there's no damage to the threads. If there are any minor issues worth noting we will do so in the overview section below. Please take a good look at the detailed photos so you can see the cosmetic condition of the frame before you buy.OVERVIEW

Lexpres was a small cycle shop in Antwerp, Belgium that built (or had built for them) bikes bearing their name in the late 1970s and early 1980s. There are very few examples of their bikes still in circulation, but it seems that track bikes were a speciality.
It is built from lightweight but strong Ishiwata 022 tubing with Shimano horizontal dropouts and Bocama lugs, and is not drilled for a brake. The frame is stamped '77' on the bottom bracket shell which given the frame details suggest this could well be the year of manufacture. With it's original paintwork and transfers this classic frameset is ready to be built up and put back to work on the boards.
The frame's been carefully checked by one of our mechanics to confirm the alignment's correct and there's no damage to the threads.
