Lovely bikes!
Here is another track bike made in 1972, the frame set original belonged to two times Dutch national Pursuit champion (1968&1970) Leo Duyndam and was made by an Amsterdam based shop called Presto (with famous builders like Peter Serier and Jan Legrand):
And here is my (probably 1974) Gazelle Champion Mondial track bike. The first pic show my first build up, the second picture shows the current state with Cinelli parts:

Here's my early 60's Legnano. I really wish the nearest velodrome wasn't 150 miles away.

Beautiful bicycles!
I don't personally own a track bicycle, but several friends still race here at our Velodrome.
One of them has a wide selection of vintage track bikes.
My favorite is a De Rosa Pista that he bought in Berlin.
Makes me wish my knees could still handle the track abuse/wear and tear.

1989 Serotta Track. Everyone always comments how massive it is; it is a 62.
Yes, I am slightly above average height.

There's a fellow here locally in the Kansas City area who collects track bikes from the 20's, 30's, and 40's - his house is packed with them: dozens and dozens if I had to venture a guess. He collects but doesn't ride - and some of the bikes he has are really very beautiful. At some point I'd like to talk him into allowing me to photograph a few of them to share here.

Some great-looking track irons here, folks. Keep 'em coming.

1981 Marinoni, columbus SP, 62cm.
It has show bar/stem (cinelli steel pista) and riding bar/stem (cinelli alloy pista/criterium), neither get used these days. The rest is record track except the cranks (modified strada), though I picked up a set of 172.5 cranks that say strada but have been milled to pista and look factory, they're even slightly counter sunk for the chain-ring bolts.

^ thanks, well I guess I will just type in my image code ([img]xxx.jpg[/img]) instead of using the new and "improved" Bf uploader from now on.
I'll find the middle two and repost.

There is some really gorgeous stuff on this thread. I worry these are uncommon enough so that we won't have this eye candy thread much longer, but I want to let you guys know I'm enjoying this thread. Esp. the Marinoni and Vittorio. Beautiful, understated bikes.
Aside to biking shearer: I know, but people get upset when they realize how short they are.
