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:

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 !

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.

unrelated but.. drool..................
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.
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.
