It's a different flavor bike crusty. There's plenty of fixies out there that are true track frames, do we need another? There are plenty that have a little of this and a little of that as far as brazeons go. Kogswell is simply whole hog with the stuff on the frame. Not for everybody to be sure, but when it's raining and I'm thirsty I'm pretty glad for the fender mounts and bottle braze ons. Someday when I actually work I'd like to commute on it. Fenders, a rack to carry my lunch, water bottles to quench my thirst and that lovely hidden rear brake cable to not get in the way. I understand why it offends your sense of style, but the bike has it's reasons.
