Seriously, "intended purpose?" That's awesome. Picking a handful of awful bikes to post is painfully easy whether it's conversions, "track" bikes, or whatever and contributes nothing. If it's really useful, we could dig up a few clowned-up track frames to gawk at.

I don't believe you didn't start this thread to bash conversions. When you label folks as "ignorant" and don't even know a track end from a dropout, you should probably tone down the flames.

You may have started riding track frames 12 years ago, but didn't I read in another thread that you haven't ridden fixed for 10 years? So does that mean your implied 12 years of experience actually amount to 2? Or perhaps you've been freewheeling your track frames in further compliance with their "intended purpose?" Thanks in advance for the clarification.
