Some trackish frames might have more relaxed geometry, and come drilled for at least a front brake. IRO Mark V, and Soma Rush are both sort of street/track frames, and I beleive the most recent Fujis are as well. Perhaps something like a Surly Steamroller, or Kogswell Model G frame might be better suited to your needs though. These are frames that were designed to be fixed gear bikes, but with decidedly street intentions.
oh man that sucks!! I basically wanted a track frame that was more on the old vintage style. I feel that the IRo, somas are so bland looking.
