So im going to poland this summer, and interested in either finding something nice and vintage, as in a cold war era track frame, or getting something custom built. Ive searched all over the net for jacek orlowski, found pics, and a few frames at brick lane bikes in london. The orlowski website doesnt seem to work, so if anyone has any contact info itd be much appreciated. also, does anyone know anything about the gromada frames? ive read at fixed gear london that theyre built by a factory to gromada specs, so not really handmade in the sense of the word. Any comments or info? also, i discovered katana track frames, which seem to be built by a polish guy in england. very nice lugged frames with great paint and chrome lugs. INFO PLEASE!!!
