Pursuit is a track event. The proliferation of steel track-likes w/ track ends and the current fad for "bullhorn" bars on road going fixed gear frames makes mocking up an '80's pursuit replica quite easy and relatively inexpensive w/ some aero-clipons. Just be sure to run a front brake and reasonable gearing for use on the open public roads.
