So maybe I'm an outlier here, and maybe not, but even though I race at a somewhat high level (I'm national-level pack fill, but if more Real Pros raced track then I probably wouldn't be there, I'd just be some local schmuck), I am content to ride whatever.

Not in a "I get free bikes" sort of way, because I don't.

As long as it fits, doesn't handle like a stale turd, and is reasonably well made (a fairly low bar), hell, I'll race it. There's such a low bar for what makes a decent track bike - what a track bike needs to be. Especially for me since I'm a lightweight, low-power kind of racer.

But yeah, you can line up the mid-range aluminum frames next to the high-end carbon superbikes and I'll still go "eh, i'll take whatever."
