Track Racing Rule Question
Is it legal to race a 'conversion' frame on the track?
I'm thinking about converting my 84 trek 760 to a ss/fg bike, and I'd like to be able to race with it as well. I'm wondering if I can race with it if it has dropouts that face forward instead of brakes.
I'd be using a bolt to secure the rear wheel because a quick release sure as heck wouldn't cut it.
Would this be allowed?
Rules say:
"For track races, only a bicycle with a single cog fixed wheel and without derailleurs, brakes or quick releases may be used; However, in pursuit and time trial events that are not championships or selection events, brakes, freewheels, quick releases, and derailleurs may be installed on the bicycle so long as only one gear is functional."
Nothing about dropouts.
