Beautiful!
I notice both the fork crown and rear brake bridge are drilled. Is that how the bike was originally?

Jerry: The Sieber track bike is shown with a half inch pitch chainring. When
I started riding track 1950/51 all track bikes came with inch pitch and and
most f the racers used block chains. In our club drilling a track frame
for brakes was tantamount to a sacrilege.
