Well it is not evident to me and I consider myself a bit of a cyclist. It obviously wasn't evident to a guy named Fausto Coppi who I understand was a bit of a cyclist in his day. Coppi's track bike had Campag "Paris-Roubaix' drop-outs fitted with the teeth filed out. They had the advantage of being longer (55 mm) than the Campag 1010 road drop-outs (40 mm). The Campag track drop-outs were 44 mm which is longer than many of the rearward opening drop-outs available today. My point is that current day builders of single gear bikes have had rearward opening drop-outs made with eyelets where forward opening would be far more practical, providing of course that the slots are reasonably long..
If you are using 1" pitch this is especially so. Mudguard eyes on track bikes? Do you mean road-path or road-track which were popular deacades ago?
No I mean the current builders who follow fashion rather than stopping to think, much as the Brits did in the fifties and sixties with their road/path bikes.

> Today I saw a gorgeous Frejus chained to a light post on 53rd street

> Madison and 5th Avenue. Gotta be pre-1970. It had a chromed head lug and

> There's a very nice DeRosa I see around, used by a messenger. Lovely blue
> with great looking lug work. Often chained in front of my office.
>
> And then there was the rootbeer brown Masi Gran Crit I saw outside traffic
> court one morning. Thing was beautiful, and just chained there in the
> rain.
> Also used as a fixie.

> looks
> of it, the 1960s, and a Raleigh Team Pro trackie from the late 70s. They
> put them down, chained them both to a parking meter with a single cable
> lock, and went into some East Village bar.
