You do not want to change the fork rake of a track bike. A real track fork cost more than the frame costs - I have do doubt that many of those frames got the right fork.
The older bikes were great though - just be careful with ebay.
good to know. I'll make sure whatever I buy I post here first for a real opinion. I'll probably also stick with something proven (fuji, felt, etc) and not stray from that. I have seen quite a few pista knock off frames that might work as a start....
