Track Frame upgrade
I started riding at the Velodrome in Atlanta (30+ banking I think)
this spring and it looks like I am going to be doing this for awhile so looking to upgrade from my existing track bike after I sell one of my road bikes-Now I am using an EAI brass knuckle frame I think with the cheapest 36h track wheels I could find and the rest in road bike parts I already had. What I am looking into is a frame in the 600-800 range that I can build up and use for mass start races but also for up to 3k/4k pursuit/TT's that I could at clipons to and work on improving my times as time goes by. I have found the closer to my road bike setup now is to my existing road bike the more comfortable it feels on the velodrome. My LBS is a Giant dealer so have looked at the Giant Omnium track frame but not sure if that is built for the velodrome. Its about 750.00. I also looked at the Trek T1 only because I have a pre-Trek owned Klein quantum and wondered if they used the Klein stiffness in their track frame. Its about 800.00 My strange 3rd option is a Jade which I found somehow and have a quote for about 700.00 with a Reynolds fork and can pick color and also seems to be more aero but don't know much about the history. I know alot of people are using Felt and Fuji track bikes at where I go but was just looking for something a bit different. Any experience with these 3 on velodrome would be helpful or any other suggestions would be as well. Thanks MP |
