I have just purchased a Teledyne Track frame that is being shipped to me as I write this. From the research I have done in the archives and elsewhere, it seems that this is a pretty rare bird. John Jorgenson wrote on this list that he thought that there were only 2 track frames made by Teledyne, one going to Ron Skarin (which was stolen in 1975), and then this possibly, is the remaining one. Has anyone ever seen one of the Teledyne Linair built track frames? This one does not have the fork and I have been told that the owner rode it with a steel fork of his own. From what I have read about the Teledyne fork on the road bikes, that would make perfect sense especially on a track bike.
What to build it up with? Light for sure, period for certain....can't wait!
