    i'm just making alternate suggestions on how to prove your masculinity, since you dont want to race.

    I wanna win me some money this saturday! I crashed on my saturday practice at alpenrose and ripped 4 or 5 spokes out of my front wheel which is an excuse to build up my front gran compe hub. I'm thinking of lacing it up to an aerohead maybe?

    Anchor track frames aren't super light. They're meant to be aero, and weight is not really the priority.

    Anyways Anchors are badass any way you put it - the steel Anchor track frame I had was the best steel frame I've ever owned.

    If it has track drops, then just RACE THE DAMN BIKE. Forgive me, as I do love reading all the "is it ok to..." bullshit, but keep it off the track. Just race.

    Is it okay to race naked on the track? For aero purposes ofcourse.
