Stainless steel goes from this to what you see next to it or even what you show, depends upon how much time you put into polishing it. And exposed to the elements, it can easily lose it's brand new luster:

And it could even look like this:

Why are you hijacking the thread to yet again argue that you are right and everyone else is wrong?

Crocker, the mystery is solved regarding the frame make. I just made a casual observation in a positive light regarding how nice it was and that it looked like SS, somebody else challenged and argued it. Why is it I make a comment and someone else argues it, but I'm the one that hijacked the thread ? MYOFB !

I just noticed that my dropouts are different. I examined every lug, but somehow missed the dropouts. lol

Careful there Higher Class wouldn't want CrockerCock to accuse you of coming back and hijacking your own thread because you found something that was argumentative, that "you are right and everyone else is wrong" ? ;)

your dropouts are different than the carlton frame because it's a path racer so it's meant to be raced on grass/dirt and would include drillings and clearance for fenders, your frame's a raleigh track from the 60's, the geometry is probably slightly more aggressive than the carlton as well.

You can get a keirin clamp-on front brake, and spare the fork from the drill.

Also noteworthy: My fork isn't drilled for a front brake! While it's cool that it's a dedicated track bike, I was planning on riding with a brake. Any suggestions? I said I don't care about restoring it accurate to the time period, but I'm not down with maiming the fork with a drill.

use a keirin brake

it clamps on to your fork. I believe it comes in regular (circle) or aero (oval) depending on the fork you have. Works as well as any other brake.

looks alot like my fathers steel frame. His was made by a small time builder on long island ny i believe in the late 70s. But its probably custom
