>>1117007Well, for one, you can't properly adjust chain length and tightness with those short road dropouts if you wanted to use a different ratio (I just noticed there's a multiple speed freewheel there also). That would be quite annoying if you were actually using it for any serious riding, but I guess the owner just wanted "muh clean build". Plus I'm pretty sure that's a custom built frame, so if the owner actually wanted to ride track, he could have built it that way.
Once again, nothing wrong with any of this, just odd choices.
