Look how close that rear tire is to the seat tube - Does that even rotate?

I had to look up Kypo - found an explanation here:

He built some cool stuff.

From years of hanging around races and many nights spent at the track, we jsut don't see many frames from Australia or New Zeland. I am sure there are frame builders from NZ? There were plenty of 3 Rensho and a few others from Japan (on the road too). I like to get my hands on one someday.

"Australia will hold its first Custom Bicycle Show in December 2012, which will present a swathe of current builders and their work. They will be the newest in a proud tradition of Australian frame makers, which includes the little-known but highly prolific Rob Kypriotis.

The Kypo marque may not be as recognizable as Kenevans, Bundy, Paconi or their contemporaries, but his output was high, building hundreds of frames during the 80s and 90s. Located at Traralgon, in the Gippsland area, he supplied many local riders with training bikes and their race frames.

This Kypo track frame was recently acquired by a Melbourne cyclist named Marc, an enthusiastic collector of Australian classics. Thankfully, the talented photographer Andy Rogers was on hand to capture it — you can see more details on Andy’s Fame & Spear website and Flickr."
