I'd ride on the velodrome if I had the opportunity, but that's very unlikely. I mainly want to be able to put an MKS chain tensioner on there, as I hate adjusting tension on the horizontal dropouts. But yeah its also alot about the fact that I just like the legitimacy of having track forkends on a fixed gear... I really want a real vintage steel frame but can't afford one at the time. I am however surprised by how cheap a set of columbus tubes are. If I can get access to a torch for brazing at my school, I might build my own.
