I go to school at Mtsu in Murfreesboro Tennessee and lately i have been seeing more classic touring bikes than ever. Only thing is these cant be touring bikes because they all are single speed bikes with no brakes. they look like some kind of vintage track bike, like would be used in the 197os olympics or something. saw one similar today that was a peugot like mine just with the gears and brakes removed and painted satin black with new stickers, looked bad *****.

Sorry for the rant, the question was is this some new style ive stumbled upon or is this sorta common practice among vintage guys?
