At recent T-town swap, I bought odd track frame from Sam Fitzsimmons. I failed to make notes when Sam described it to me, and an old phone number for Sam doesn't answer.
The all-black track frame has no apparent makers marks, but Sam said it was built by a pioneer of the Wolverine Sports Club, named Omletchuk (sp?) of Detroit. I guess it's dated 1930s, by its fork tip OLD of 90mm and the inch-pitch-tooth Williams crank attached. It's special features are the fork blades and seat stay, which are open at both tubes ends, top and bottom. Along with its welded DIY craftsmanship and old-time geometry, it looks pretty nice as I assemble it.
I wonder if someone knows this Omletchuk (sp?) or knows how to reach Sam. thanks, Dave Perry @ Bike Works NYC New York, NY
