Define "race bike".
I commute on a Litespeed frame with 40.6cm chain stays, deep drop bars, and straight block cassette. Race.
I still ride a 32 spoke wheel set I built 15-16 years ago albeit with the second front and third rear rim (originally Reflex clinchers, now Open Pros). Campagnolo C-Record hub forgings are the sexiest ever. Retro.
I've kludged on a rear rack because I realized I was too old to ride 25 miles round trip with a back pack. I have a triple crank so I can accommodate hills without loosing middle aged spread or giving up the tight cassette which feels so good on flat ground. Fred.
Functionally I've raced it. Race.
I also rode it on a 420 mile supported tour with 30,000 feet of climbing. Tour.
I waver between getting around to a visit to the city for Dan Nelson to weld on some rack eyelets (the P-clamps squeak a bit) and having a custom titanium frame built that's a little more amenable to this sort of thing (fenders in the rainy season would also be nice) with longer chain stays and eyelets.
My HOA only allows me to have 100 square feet of storage shed which is too full for more bikes, my carpet inside is way too nice for more bikes, and I'd either need to park outside or get a box truck to use as a bike garage if I acceeded to N+1 and even in that case it'd be about the same.
