Truth

.... but when I looked up the old posts on this subject all I found were derisive and dismissive comments about why anyone would want to own such a beast.

No specific recommendations just a lot of smugness.

I also think that that you are right and that track bikes are not what the Op is looking for based on what he's riding and appreciating now but in all fairness he didn't clarify - single speed is a pretty broad cattagory - I was kind of hoping he'd respond and narrow it down.

Maybe the White Industries eccentric hub would be a product that could open up a lot of choices?
