Thanet Track cycle

[Chutney1967]

Hi
I have my fathers Thanet track cycle frame guessing around 1950 ish era it has no wheels as some family member disposed of them. Can anybody give me any info on the size of wheel and would it be a fixed cog.

Many thanks

Welcome, pictures would be good. A pure track frame would run sprint rims and tubs, it would be fixed. Which is 700c.

The Thanet silver light had an unconventional bottom bracket arrangement. Interesting but a poor design. Still highly sought after.
