I made the evolution from geared road > converted SS > Converted FG > Track frame. I would never convert another frame, no matter how classic/expensive/nostalgic/flashy/etc. & if I had a frame I had to keep, I'd send it to have horizontal dropouts fitted.

For you losers with conversions http://www.63xc.com/mikep/mikep.htm

I think people do conversions because they are more concerned about the name brand of the frame.
Get a track frame & stop making excuses as to why you prefer your conversion. OR, just throw some gears on your bike & use it for it's intended purpose.

think that people might own the kind of bike that they can afford/have access to.
