So I was at this little dinky bike shop at the beach yesterday and ran across this beautiful Chrome track bike for a crazy deal! The guy had no idea what was on the bike and the frame itself was very nice as well, I picked it up but I can't seem to figure out exactly what the frame is. I think it is a Raleigh because of the head badge pattern and I found the seat bold stamped with Raleigh, but I would love to know for sure and what model or year if I could. Can you help me? It has a mondia fork, Campy Brev drop outs, Campy Record rear hub, came with a Cinelli stem and track bars, and the other parts are all definitely upgraded more recently so I won't go through the list. The dealer thought it was a Bianchi Pista but I doubt that, because it is lugged and no Bianchi decals or stamps on the seat stays. Help me, here is a link to pictures, it is the second bike obviously.

What's the BB threading? If the chrome and patina of the frame matches the fork, I'd tend to think it was all Mondia. I've got a 1973ish Raleigh Pro, and the frame details don't match up with what you've got (fork crown seems similar), nor do I think they were available all chrome.

I don't know the BB threading yet. I'll have to get in there and take it apart which I have not had time to do yet. Thanks for the input!

Have you asked the Classic & Vintage forum, yet? They're likely to know.

Also, spill the beans - what'd you pay?

My guess would be a '60s vintage Carlton or Raleigh. There were lots of all chrome Carltons around the tracks in those days. It's a Brit bike I think - the domed stays and the semi-wrapover seatstays make me think that.

I can just picture a Raleigh heron headbadge covering those screwholes though.

Well I think I got it. I believe it to be a 1971/2 Raleigh Professional Track. I got at this through these two sources. First I found a list of Raleigh serial numbers (http://retroraleighs.com/dating.html#1967) under 1967-73 and the Serial Number I have of F2229 matches 72. Then I went to the catalog list (http://retroraleighs.com/index.html#catalogues) and found not the 71 but the 72 catalog and on page 2 it has a picture of the 72 bike that is obviously chromed with the same matching rainbow stickers, and the parts list matches what I have as well, and it looks to have the same Mondia fork in the picture as well. It would seem the bike was stripped of the paint and re-decaled but everything I can tell points to a 71/2 Raleigh Pro Track Does this seem like a reasonable conclusion to you guys? If so Sheldon said a frame would go for around $1000 and thats without the components. so I tripled my investment of $400. By the way it was loaded with money components! for instance the suntour superbe pro cranks and chainring. I think all together it's worth around $1400. Let me tell you it rides like an absolute dream, never ridden a smoother machine! Unfortunately it's a bit big so I'll be selling it I think :(
