Don Walker Signature Track Frame XL UCI Approved Fillet Brazed Steel Carbon Fork

Message me before buying

• Don Walker Signature Track frame, UCI approved for sanctioned racing under code DWC-SIGN-TR (serial 40977).

• Handbuilt by Don Walker, founder of the North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS) and one of the most recognized American framebuilders working today. Walker has been building since 1991 and is particularly known for his track frames.

• Fillet-brazed steel construction, Walker’s signature method, producing the smooth flowing junctions that lugged and TIG-welded frames cannot match.

• Aero-profiled down tube and seat tube. Walker is known for using aero steel tubesets on his serious track builds, including the frame he built for Matt Haldeman’s hour record attempt.

• Track-specific geometry: horizontal rear-facing dropouts, no derailleur hanger, no brake bridge, no brake mounts, no bottle bosses. Built for the velodrome.

• Cane Creek 40 ZS44 (Zero Stack) semi-integrated headset, installed and ready.

• Matching gloss black carbon track fork with uncut 1-1/8” steerer, full fit adjustability preserved for the next owner.

• BSA threaded bottom bracket shell with clean threads.

• Sized for taller riders, fitting approximately 6’2” to 6’4” (188 to 193 cm).

• Seat tube approximately 25” / 63.5 cm, center of bottom bracket to top.

• Top tube approximately 24.5” / 62.2 cm.

• Head tube approximately 8” / 20.3 cm.

• Gloss black finish with bright orange “DON WALKER” graphics on the down tube, seat tube, chainstays, seat stays, and fork blades.

• Don Walker Cycles USA crest decal head badge featuring a tartan shield with crossed swords and hammers.

• Honest wear from velodrome use: paint scratches and small chips at the bottom bracket shell and head tube edges. No dents, no cracks, no crash damage.

• UCI Frame Approval is a significant expense most small custom builders skip. This frame has it, making it race-legal at every level of USA Cycling and UCI sanctioned events.

• Custom UCI-legal handbuilt American track frames in this size do not surface often.

• Includes the frame, matching carbon fork, and installed Cane Creek 40 ZS44 headset.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
