Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Fuck, I hadn't seen it from the front...

Presumably that's also to provide the lateral stiffness required from a track frame when it's being honked around the track in a sprint. IIRC track forks historically had a round profile to achieve that, but circular cross-sections are horribly unaerodynamic.

I was just thinking about this while I was pulling away from lights today, would they not hit their legs on the stays beside the headtube when doing starts or out of the saddle? I've hit my knees off the side of my forks before

I'm into it.

edit, more of it here
and some better looks at the TT version of the fork
