Vintage Track Bike
A buddy of mine found this bike at the local swap meet. He picked it up for $40 and wants to know more about it, as do I!!!
From what I know its a "Drysdale".
Has tubular tires.
It has WCS Stripes.
It's not in the best shape but still has to be worth something.
It came with the GT seat

major score if it is a Drysdale.
Builder was Alvin Drysdale, one of the premier U.S. Builders.
I believe that Albert Eisentraut learned his craft from Drysdale.
You can find additional information here (and some photos) :

Those hubs are amazing ! Probably worth a bundle by themself although I would not advise parting out this bike.

Those are Prior hubs. Worth a few hundred on their own. a NOS pair went for $450 last month.
edit: stronglight cranks, prior hubs... that pivo stem is in the right place.
