yeah my friend bought a track frameset for 180 included saddle,headset,BB,bars,stem and seatpost and ...behold,,,,a brake:-)...on the london calling track day..........531, nice geometry, red painting and dave marsh decals........paintjob is ugly as fuck and is chipping off....is mario vaz striking again????? and yeah there was a tiny little dent underneath the stickers once we peeled them off........but nothing major......as far as i can recall....possibly two fat guys with loads of old and new bits and parts........anyway as for the wheels go.........i bought a pair as well...fixed/free with fixed on one and sucide hub style on the other.........removed the suicide one and wheel is fine.......anyway it's better to look before you buy i guess...if you know what to look at.......and as far as honesty go.......you can easily and safely use suicide hub on the track as some people not even use lockring on trrack........were they aware you wanna ride it on the streets???with loads of backpressure on the lockring......and yeah i know kids who ride suicide hubs...but its better to use threadlock first.......and pray before every ride....anyway sad experience
