·You've probably answered this question many times before, but I have to ask: does this bike have any kind of brake (other than your legs)?

·Yeppers…it has a Dura-Ace 7900 front brake only…please make sure that you pronounce it “der-AHH-chee” to make it sound Italian. 👍

·I have a Specialized Langster track bike that is brakeless and another Cinelli fixed gear with full Campy brakes and hardware. Love single speed/fixed gear bikes. They are my other love besides watches.
I would really dig having a true track bike like yours. 👍
Although my 2010 Schwinn Sprint has track geometry and Reynolds 853 main tubes, it’s not a true track bike like yours. My Sprint came from Schwinn as a fixed gear but it has pannier mounts as well as bottle cage mounts…and it came with brakes. In 2013 I modified it to a road TT race bike and I raced it on the road as a fixed gear TT bike…
LATE ENTRY: I continue to ride my fixed gear Sprint quite often but not with the Zipp tubulars or aero bars pictured above. I will say that my fixed gear Sprint attracted quite a bit of attention when I showed up with it at road TT races since I was the only one racing a fixed gear TT bike…as well as it being the only Schwinn. I had to study the terrain prior to road TT races and make a “best guess” what the optimal gearing would be…I have the entire set of Dura-Ace track cogs [13, 14, 15, 16] and an incomplete set of Dura-Ace track chain rings from 50 to 55. Most of the time I was running a 50/14 or a 51/14 combo for longer TTs and then a 55/13 for shorter/flatter TTs. Since I’m a masher, I would try to get an average cadence of about 75-80 rpm during a TT. I currently ride it recreationally and on “spirited” group rides in a 50/15 combo with Mavic Open Pro clincher wheels laced up to high flange Dura-Ace track hubs.
