Need some help doing some archaeology on this 'track' bike. Originally, I assumed it was a low-end department store frame of some sort. Now I'm starting to think it is a nice quality early 1960s road frame (as I research early frame pics I'm starting to think 1950s now). This is based mainly on the long wheelbase and the lug work. The bike is quite light. There is a serial number JM709387 on the seat tube. Original color was light blue. There is no derailleur hanger but I think these were a separate piece on this age bike. There are drilled holes for a head badge. My bike knowledge starts in the 70s and I'm pretty sure this pre-dates that.
