I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers. I am just curious why all the time, labor and money is spent converting a road frame into something that resembles a track frame?

I read stories about shaving brazons off, welding on track dropouts, attaching a track fork and repainting road frames. This is allot of effort!! If you want a track frame why not get a track frame instead of converting something into one? I am not being a hater, just curiosity. In the beginning I picked up a conversion, but as soon as I really got into and did some research I upgraded to a track frame.
