grrr... not a track bike. not at all.. more like tourer with track ends.
serves a purpose though, it's not like it's going anywhere near a track and you might as well like a comfy relaxed ride.
just upsets me to call it a track bike. That would be a fixie... can we agree that maybe? a bike that is fixed but not track specific. That would make me less grumpy.
as a small aside, why does 'track bike' grate on you (any many others) so?
the vast majority of bmx bikes don't go anywhere dirt race courses (bicycle motorcross) but no one points out the logic fail in that... bmx street, park or dirt bikes are a long, long step away from their racing counterparts, about to the same degree as racing track bikes or street track bikes. different geometry, materials, style, setup, everything really.
'fixie' grates on me (and again, many others) just because it's so obnoxious sounding, almost condescending, 'fixed gear/wheel bike' can be a mouthful, what's wrong with 'track bike'?
