Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

Agree with this statement - and agree with your comments in principle.

My objection was to the sense that those who ride proper track bikes (in a rad fashion) but fall short of some arbitrary pronouncement by the geometry police are rendered somehow inferior.

I'd go as far as to say that those who ride a Dosnoventa properly should not be tarnished by the makers commercial ambitions, but you do have to ask why they'd bother to shell out for such a frame in the first place!

This.
