You have to stake your own turf, since everybody's riding track bikes and converting racers. For example, I'm going to be the fashion leader in converting commuter bikes from the Netherlands, just as soon as I finish buying parts for it. And decide whether to repaint it. And find the right place to photograph it. It's going to be totally cool to everybody who converts commuter bikes from the Netherlands, although nobody into track bikes and road racers would understand.
