Japanese keirin steel frames are my jam. They can be equipped with brakes if that’s your preference.
There is a decent range of geometries within this category. Some are longer wheelbase, with relatively shallow frame angles (long and low) and as such have a comfortable smooth stable ride quality - predictable but unlike a lot of road bikes they don’t steer like a bus - some are steeper and shorter wheelbase and offer a more agile/nimble responsive ride - a bit closer to my Bianchi Pista Concept, which can be a real benefit in the right circumstance like negotiating city traffic.
