Ted,

Thank you for your post. You are a real witness who saw curved Q/R skweres

in track racing. So it was there though a short period of time.

I just could not imagine powerful track racers (PISTA) people need of curved

q/r lever for safey (in case of crash). Like you, powerful racer with 48-15 fixed gear only!

There is a BIG difference betwen PISTA (track racer) and STRADA (road racer) .

As you know, raised pedal hole crank was made till mid 70's.  Chain ring i s completely different using 1/8" wide chain rather than 3/32".

Never allow to use alloy bar, rather steel.  Fork is round, no use of D/B tubing.

Have never seen PISTA hub with Q/R, 1960 Rome, 64 Tokyo, 68 Mexico Olympics, I do not think they allow to use Q/R in track racing, not enough holding power.

Therefore; they did sell PISTA HUB with q/r but NUT(?), my guess. 

What kind of racing need of quick change of wheels?  Do not want carry wrenches, do you?

Also, this brings argument between NUT or Q/R. which is stronger to bind wheels in the frame?
