Bikes: 74 paramount track, 80s maruishi track, 70s chesini track.

i am shooting blindly in the dark here, having never ridden on every track on the face of the planet,,, but i would imagine it would differ between them somewhat--- however: isn't it true that one never really "turns" ones front wheel much on the track? i mean, a certain amount of steering is neccessary, but isn't it so minimal (on the velo) that one would never touch one's toes to one's wheel?

same goes for geometry in general, the bike is steep and uncomfy on the street, but this doesn't matter at the track as the bike wasn't designed with commuting in mind. look at those down/forward sloping top tubes, or the bikes with handlebars affixed to the front fork!
