    Looks like a Ducati frame

      I did some digging. I'm pretty sure it's a narrow case 250 Ducati frame although it has had some bracing added. A pretty rare special, although I've been reminded that Colin Aldridge rode a Ducati-Greeves in the early 70s. The shark fin shows that this one has been prepared for the track much later than that, although to my mind, a bit of a futile exercise. But then again I've spent my life exercising futility.
