Fixed gear/track bike
Looking for a track bike that will be suitable for road use (ie. brakes) whilst also being able to be used on a track.

The NCC have never been too fussy about me taking my fixie on the track with the brake and other bits off, no issue with my Conti GP 4 Season tyres for example, however they wouldn't let it on unless it was spotlessly clean, which obviously resulted in n+1.
This should keep you busy for an hour or two; http://www.lfgss.com/thread12358.html
Just make sure that cable guides for a back brake are removable and it meets the requirements of whatever track you want to use it at. This is the bike spec for Manchester and i believe Glasgow have used the same presumably the Olympic velodrome is the same too http://www2.nationalcyclingcentre.com/documents/Track%20bike%20specifica...
