Precisely - track frame.
No, cheap track frame.
For those who wish to get started on track racing, or skidding like an idiot in London, don't dwell over it.
If you're paying £400+, then dwell as much as you can.

It's worth pointing out too that a lot of track frames have crank compatibility issues. I had to file an NDS Campy Pista crank just to clear the chainstay on my Mash Bolt. When you take a type of crank designed to have a narrow q-factor and try to put them on frames designed to be as stiff as possible it's not too surprising you're occasionally going to have clearance issues.
It is nice that Dolan is acknowledging the issue, too.

I swear people dont get this.
in the scheme of bikes as a whole these cost almost nothing.
and if you think issue like this are rare you are simply uninformed.
Fuji made a whole batch of FTPs that couldnt take larger than like a 46t chain ring.
Orbea made a bunch of track frames that the front wheel touched the downtube with fork rakes under 50degrees. it goes on and on, its a small market, they dont care.

Precisely - track frame. Absolutely no need to comfortably accommodate rubber wider than 23mm.
