Bethnal Green Bikes new frames, like, totally 531!

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'?

BMX has become quite seperate from its roots though, far more than fixed wheels bikes have.

If you can't take it on a track, it isn't a track bike. Using your argument, why not call Unipaks Keirin bikes? Or £79 full suspension MTBs downhill bikes?
