Favorite track bike (pictures)
Post a picture of your favorite track bike. You can judge it based on appearance, components, roll of the dice -- whatever. But no conversions.
Of the 130someodd bikes in my screensaver file, this is the one I find the most amusing.

I've never seen a better looking bike. If I ever do i'll be in shock, because to me that is the perfect bike.

The Conti I posted is completely perfect in every way (in my eyes). The only two bikes that comes close in beauty to the Conti is TNCLR's Casati and 12XU's Mercian.

They are cutouts not cable guides.

Yeah, the guys at Tom were too busy designing the paint job to make a track specific BB shell. I could live with it, though.
