1973 Rodriguez Track

Follow me on instagram for more photos: @evans69 Rodriguez bicycles are handmade at R&E (Rodriguez & Erickson) Cycles in Seattle, WA. The shop began producing frames in 1973, so this is one of the very first frames to roll out their door. What are the chances their 7th bike would be a huge track frame? Pretty cool. I am the fourth owner of this frame. Measurements are seat tube: 62cm center to center, top tube: 57cm center to center, head tube: 220mm. Beautiful lug work, long lug with beautiful cutouts. Reynolds 531 tubing and fork blades.

No problem! The geometry kinda reminds me of my DBS, what with the super long seat tube and (relatively) short top tube.
