This all makes sense, I guess I should just listen to my heart and buy a sick steel or ally track frame and accept that it's wholly inappropriate (because I wouldn't have an excuse to buy something new based on what you described with my old track path frame that takes brakes, mudguards and big tyres sitting unused in the garage).
I just need to admit that I want a cool fixie again.
I guess the real question was, is steel really shit compared to ally when it comes to track frames?
I’d go for anything available with brake mounts and reasonable tyre clearance (id want mudguards too). Maybe a Dolan or something?
