And, here is some interesting reading on the design of track frames by Spectrum Cycles.
That's a really good article. I'll break out the ruler tonight and measure my Serotta and see what numbers I come up with for its measurements. Between that and the article I should get a good base for what geometry and sizes to look for. I'm 5'10" and my Serotta is a 56. My Bstone is a 54 and I know she's too small, but she's good for around town. This is an excellent bike nerd project Jose R. Thanks.

C&C - thanks for the Ebay link to that frame. I'll see what kind of numbers I come up with and if that frame could work out.
