I have a leader frame for a road bike if someone wants to trade for a track frame. Its the LD 735R from 2005. I would like to build up a track bike this winter.

a 60cm track frame (as in track geometry) may be difficult to come by here in town unless you went through a shop and bought new. I just haven't come across many folks in town who ride track-specific frames (most people have fixed road conversions) and those who do all seem to ride bikes in the 53cm - 58cm range. You might want to check with Chris Simpson to see what happened to his old red KHS Flite... I'm not sure if it was 60cm, but it was close to it (58 maybe?).

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you know you ride a 60cm size in a road frame, you may want to consider a cm or two smaller in a track frame, to make up for the difference in the higher bottom bracket of track frames.
