Carbon frame for single speed bike with disc brakes
Hi, excuse me for my English.
I use single speed bikes for city cycling for several years. I use road\track frames with rim brakes (I don't like fixed gear at city roads, not on a track).
Now I want to build same bike with carbon frame. But I don't want to use rim brakes.
Is there a carbon frame (desirable with track geometry) with disc brake attachments?
Thank you.

Sorry, Google/Bing is for searching. it's not my job.
A gravel/road bike can be stripped down with a 135 disc freewheel hub..
& a chain-tensioner, rather than the whole derailleur drive train..

Really, it's no different from converting a rim brake bike except carbon fiber disc brake bikes are much less likely to have horizontal dropouts.
Or if it has a press fit bottom bracket like many carbon fiber bikes, you can use a bottom bracket eccentric instead of a chain tensioner, though you're limited in what cranks you can use.

Carbon framed track bikes and usually very expensive track bikes.
Very expensive track bikes don't use brakes.
What you are looking for is unusual.
Disk brakes on any track bike are unusual and I have never seen one

You might have better luck if you search for a single speed cyclocross (SSCX) bike.
