on the PC website they claim "KAGERO and RENOVATIO framesets sold within the United States are NOT drilled for brakes, but the fork can be easily drilled for a brake." here:PEDAL Consumption | Frames

do you recommend that?

All the axle nuts I have (lower one in that photo) are just slightly too big to fit into that opening. The upper nut is from a road skewer/axle I use for a road wheel that I sometimes use on track bike... about 2mm less in diameter, and fits neatly into the dropout.

Some lower-end front track hubs have 10mm axles instead of 9mm, which means the axle nuts would be the same size as what is typically used on the rear. I don't know of any 10mm axle nuts that have a rotating washer that would be smaller in diameter.

Even if a 10mm axle squeezes into those dropouts, they are designed to accomodate a standard axle nut for a 9mm axle.

That's really odd. I just pulled one of those forks off the shelf and all the 9mm axle nuts I've got here at the shop fit just inside that recessed part of the dropouts.

The ones I've got here (Dura Ace, Miche, Campy and generic) all have washers that are a little smaller.

First of all, use a fit calculator and figure out what frame size you actually need. Secondly, do you want steel or aluminum?

Thanks Scrod, done, CT should be around 56.4-56.9 according to www.competitivecyclist.com.
Steel or Alu....not too hung up on either from what I've read as mostly riding hard-ish 20-30km round town but no track, not many long road rides and no real off-road either.
As someone else mentioned, I checked with the Leader distro here and the Renovatio here has front/rear brake holes COMPLETE BIKES | BROTURES ONLINE | **********????BROTURES**********???

would i notice any difference in quality between a set of machine built wheels vs. a set of hand built wheels? (assuming the components are identical on both)

That largely depends on whether you want cartridge or cages bearings.
