So who ended up with Spedman's track bike? Was the wheelbase ever measured?

In this ad Racycle talks about the Yellow flyer. It has a close coupled rear wheel design to give the rider increased speed (similar to my Racycle). This model had a wheel base of 41 1/2 inches. This one obviously had a smaller front sprocket.

The wheelbase from center of rear axle to center of front axle is 43" with the rear wheel 1/2" back. Pushed all the way in it is 42 1/2" wheelbase.

So my opinion is that this Racycle is in fact a track racer and very important to the Racycle puzzle. Dont think I have ever seen one before this. Thanks to all for the info about this rare bike.

Nice to see this “track”bike has room for a coaster brake.... that’s interesting....
