More Info:
Bought it off a guy who says he bought it and rode it in HongKong for a while ( hence the HK Fixed crew sticker on it ).The frame was in perfect shape - basically NOS. Dunno how anyone can ride a bike for a couple of years without even getting even one tiny ding on the frame - but no complaints here !

My 2005 optimo track has the exactly same issue with the rear bridge. I'm thinking of sanding it down a bit to let the rear wheel go further in but I'm worried of the rear triangle loses strength :(

i wouldn't recommend you modify the frame to fit the wheels a few mm closer to the seat tube .. for the amount of space it would allow you'd likely put your rear triangle at risk!

yeah this thing is really solid - and it fits me so well , I think it's gonna be hard to choose what to ride this summer ;)
i noticed that the rear wheel can rub out on the back brake mount - with a 23mm gatorksin on there. I had to use a new chain cut one or two links longer than the usual in order to allow the wheel to spin clear of that bridge . There's lots of room in the dropout and for the wheel to move in - I could easily lose a chain link if the bridge wasn't in the way. Not that it matters - just never seen that on a track bike and I've had plenty of different frames..

that is odd! never ran into that issue with mine but maybe it has to do with the smaller size.

honestly I can't tell ya - I had a caad5 road bike that fit the same clamp so I just took that one into the shop and asked them to sell me another one for the track frame.
