Kind of an odd question,
but I have seen more and more custom built vintage style track bikes being built, such as those of the ling below (this one is an example of an 1899 track bike). However, aside from just riding around something which looks retro, is there any chance that this bike could actually be used in sanctioned track races (or conversely, are there velodromes where races are held specifically for using the more retro/vintage bikes?)
