completely true

a TRUE PURE track bike has tire clearance way to tight for brakes and besides brakes aren't even allowed on most 'dromes. Just like conversions aren't, because yeah its still a fixed gear, but its not a track bike.
there's a difference people!

721TR Drop out issues

So did they fix that problem with the short dropout (forkend) on the 721, or was it just never a problem on the 725? Thinking of Getting one of these or a Kilo TT from bikes direct (don't need the components on the Kilo, just the frame). Opionions on which one?

Huh...didn't realize that was the Kilo TT frame...well. Problem solved I guess. So, do I get the Kilo TT frame or The 721TR? Need it for street and possibly the velodrome.
