So then, is the thread on 10-pitch wheels different from that on conventional track wheels? I thought maybe it was only the cogs, chainwheels and chain that were different.

I saw a 1961 Olmo on the road today. I talked to the owner, who has had it since day one. He said he rode it all over SoCal. From the description of his jaunts, he and his friend covered some ground. Bicycles were a way of exploring the world, before we reached age 16 (when we could drive). I don't think kids use bikes in this manner anymore (if at all?).
Very amusing and informative discourse on framebuilders e-group, involving Baylis (ONE "s" ok!), Dazza, Sachs, Fattic, etc etc. Everyone is friends again, so all is well.
DO NOT try to stop your brakeless bicycle by putting your hand on the WRONG side of the fork. One person I know was attempting to wipe his tire in this manner, got his hand caught, did an end-O and messed himself up pretty good.
