I bought this on craigslist and had it powder coated (it had gone thru more than a few rattle can jobs). There are no markings on it whatsoever, no engravings of any kind numbers or otherwise. Can anyone tell by looking at the lugs. I didn't include pics but it is a track frame.

Dunno, but I love the color, and I love the hood ornament.
Oh, I love to say rattlecan just to piss off MLPROJECT.

Is there anything engraved on the bottom of the bottom bracket shell? If so, take a picture.

my first thought was "hey, those lugs look like my old motobecane that got jacked" so i checked fgg and i think i might be right (not that it's my bike, just that it's a motobecane.)
i don't know much about motobecane track bikes though... here, look. https://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2004/f/troyer.htm

How heavy is your frame? Mine, at <1650g is extremely light for old lugged steel.
