And this talk of 'purist' meaning no-brakes is fscking stupid.

Track bikes on a track is the only real time to be concerned with that form of purist arseholishness. Safety bikes, path bikes, etc (ie the original fscking-road use fixed gears (wheels)) had brakes, SO that is technically pure- isn't it?

(I'll admit that my beater doesn't have a brake- because I can control it, and because its used for quick easy commutes- every other bike i own does- and I wouldn't change that for anything).

blah blah blah:-)
pure track frame - no braze ons, no bottle mounts and definitely under any circumstance no holes......all right maybe forks but definitely no brake then........
