Umm...Theres not a trace of snobbery on this thread, and no one said "don't use the frame". Sheldon's writing is full of useful knowledge, and good advice, but often tainted with retro-grouchery. You have to read it all with a grain of salt. What Sheldon's basically saying is that track frames aren't the most versatile of frames, which is true. But track frames are great on the street.
