Mercian frames always did that...
All frames have a drilled crown for brake fitment unless specifically required without, but we will need a written letter of confirmation that it is for track use only.
Yukirin-
I thought it was illegal to sell a bike without brakes unless specifically for track so I suspect this has been in place for years in many shops. The staff member was informing the other chap as if it was a new thing, a change in policy so I suspect it is for other fixed bikes. I don't think evans particularly sell "track" bikes. Its evans...

Just overheard in Evans one staff member telling another that if customers are buying a fixed gear, they have to sign a waiver to say that they agree that they intend only to use it on the track.
Fair enough that they're covering themselves really but the whole things gone mad
