Riding the banked turns of a smooth velodrome requires different handling characteristics and a stouter frame than a city fixie. I’ve turned up the angles on this bike to make an aggressive attacking machine. I also custom select the tubes for every rider. This enables me to achieve the proper amount of stiffness for the individual and his race. Extra beefy chainstays and straight bladed fork (optional) keep your wheels glued to the track. Long slotted dropouts are carefully positioned parallel to the ground. Thus sliding the rear wheel back and forth, by changing gears or chain length, will not affect the head angle. Power though turn 4 and beyond with confidence on this classic steel track bike.
I am also offering a single speed frame with stock geometry and a basic tubeset ideal for road training or foul weather. You can still ride the track but this bike is not as stiff and is more practical for street riding. If this sounds good but you want tire clearance and a rack and/or fenders, check out the HIPSTER.
