Object: May I suggest one technical thing, as a non fixedtricks rider that may accoutn for alot of the use of fixedtrick/track frames over mtb. That being the dropout width. The vat majority of fixed hubs are 120mm and the vast majority of mtb are 135mm. I should imagine that has alot to do with it. Also steel over alu, but then there are plenty of steel DJ MTB frames out there, so maybe thats a moot point.
But I must say I am interested in your questions too, also as a non fixed trick rider with a history in MTB.
