OK, I went back to the "Your Fixed Gear/SS Photos!" thread, and I didn't see, in the few minutes I blanced through, one single instance where the bare brake tabs would be visible. So either all the frames where without them as designed, or they were shaved/filed off.
Most people are running only a front brake..its very easy to remove and reinstall a front brake and it doesn't require cable guides. Peopl tend to file off the cable guides for the rear brake and for the shifter cables, becuase they are going for that "clean" look. All the more reason to take off the front brake for the photo. Anyway, thats my theory. I'm guess I'm not saying everyone does this, but I bet some people have.
