    Anyone here take their chain guard off and leave it off?? Most track bike dont have them and imo they do look much cleaner and better without..

    Any opinions??

    This was the only down side i could think of but when using dry chain lube it shouldn't really be an issue, just think it looks so much better than that piece of tacky plastic...

    I'm on the lookout for one too; surely given the member base of the forum someone must work in fabrication of know of someone who could make something of equivalent quality and look to Colin's? It's such a shame Colin no longer makes them!
