there is not a single point in time ever where i've looked at a conversion and though "wow, I almost thought that was the cleanest track bike ever, but those huge braze ons threw me off"

but i have looked at conversions with unbelievable effort put into grinding off braze ons and derraileur hangers and repainting and thought "stupid ****ing hipster should have just bought a windsor hour. what a stupid bike"
