Durkopp track bike

Here is the Drukopp track bike I mentionned in an other thread. If anyone could help me date that bike it would be nice. I think it could be from the 50's but It is only a guess. Also there are tange tubing decals on the frame, I have a strong feeling that these were added at the same time someone decided grey would look good on this bike. If I have it repainted its going to be all black with simple white lettering, what o you think?

Frame looks old, parts don't (Italian spindle?).

Might send some pics to Ted Ernst on the CR list, he really lived that old track stuff.

I think it needs a chrome rear triangle, outlined lugs in gold or silver and a lugged stem. I like

Thanks, the parts are 100% non original, mosty japanese (some came with the bike others from the parts bin) . The bb is actually Campagnolo, says 1370'' X 24 (british thread???).

If money was no object having the rear triangle chromed would be extremely nice. If I get the frame repainted I might give lug outlining a try, probably gold...
