Did anyone see the documentary called 'fix club' on Channel 4 a month or so ago ?
Absolutely disgusting footage of illegal track bikes fighting to the death in the shady back rooms of dubious East London pubs and clubs.
These bikes are not the domestic track bike we know and love, they have been built up with all NJS parts - had their top tube pad shaven off and their bars cropped - these things are bred to do one thing only, fight. Regardless of who wins, along with the loser, the 'victor' usually ends up being put down as it can often be so badly damaged that it wouldn't survive even a quick ride to the newsagent under the fat arse of a fakenger.
