Hey, just got my hands on a 2005 Giant Track Team frameset. From the listing photos I was pretty sure the fork had a front brake mount.
Just received it and there seems to be something under the paint, could be a genuine brake hole or ?. I've seen several builds on Pedalroom with front brakes on the same model, so I'm assuming it's drilled but I can't tell for sure without going through the paint.
Anyone familiar with this?

Place holder waiting to be drilled if so.
Looks to be drilled, yeah. Tap it lightly with a hammer and punch—if you want to use the brake hole, that is—you’ll mostly likely discern the difference between a painted over hole and metal, but if it’s paint you’re likely to punch through it after a couple hits
This frame is awesome, please post the full build.
not a real track bike. throw it in a lake
