Help identify this unknown vintage track frame
Picked this track frame on from e-bay and thought it'd ridden it for a couple of weeks. I was planning on selling the frame plus fork and there fore wondering what kind of frame this is. There really aren;t any identifiable markings on it.. Only an nervex stamp on the bottom of the BB.
So does anybody recognize anything? lugs?
Thanks for the help in advance guys!!

I think your heading says it all - "Unidentified Vintage Track Frame". My gut feeling is that's just what it will remain - unidentified. The lugs are Nervex pro's and top of the heap items they were too. A lot of builders would use this lug set on their top bike frames thus your problem. Without any identifying markings I don't think you are going to uncover just who the builder was.
A real guess at the tube material would be Reynolds 531 - just a typical tube set for a frame with these lugs.
