Definitely pronz. Do they have brakes so they can be ridden on the road now or were they originally designed to be run with brakes, and why?

I imagine it's bit of both. They are track frames but have drilled forks for use on the road as training.
Having a front brake for riding fixed on the road isn't such a new fad, like a path bike. Awaits tester to confirm/destroy.

yeah, those two are pure 100% win

I know people who used to ride 50miles to track meetings about 20+yrs ago, apparently not an uncommon thing

so basically before you started going to school, right?..

Indeed, people were poor back in the day and even quite keen racers only had 2 bikes, one heavy beater (fixed, two brakes, mudguards) for commuting and club runs and one nice bike which did double duty as both road (time trial) & path (track) bike.

As late as 1984, I used sprint carriers to take my best wheels to time trials, and I've seen at least one person doing the same this year.

That is too cool, wheels are always a pain to transport.
Not a thief, he avers.

Most of the local guy's were doing it before I was born let alone school.

I used to carry my race tyres to CX events, never really had punctures so didn't feel the need for spare wheels. A spare bike and someone to clean it would have been handy though

I used to hate risers on track bikes of conversions, but somehow I really don't mind them anymore. Linear fade paintjobs can be truly amazing, it might have been even better if the paint on the top tube was reversed, i.e. white on top and blue on the inside of the triangle.

Edit: Oh wow I didn't notice we were on a new page already.

Thinks back to what I was doing in 1984...

i want one for winter

I still use a pair to take my cyclocross race wheels to races.

how do you get clearances THAT tight!?

magnets

how do you get clearances THAT tight!?

By using a 22mm tubular on a frame designed for 19mm

Lots of cool stuff here:
