I think it is a cool looking bike, but I am struck by the large tire clearance in front. Even allowing for an underinflated tire, it seems like there is a lot of space there. This bike does not have a hole in the fork for a front brake. Why would a track bike be built with so much space between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fork crown?

Best regards,
