Entry Level Track Bike Help
I'm hoping for some honest feedback on a few entry level track bikes from guys who actually ride on the track...
I'm finally going to check the "ride a real track bike on a velodrome" box on my things to do before I'm too old to do them list and would appreciate any help you guys may offer.
I'm going to try to keep this as far under $1000 as possible for the sake of my wedded bliss, so here are the bikes I am considering:
Schwinn Madison
Bianchi Pista
KHS Flite 100
Mercier Kilo TT Pro
Trek T1
Keep in mind that for now I only want to ride the velodrome (Trexlertown), but I'm sure as my track skills improve I'll consider a race or two.
I'm 5'9" or so with a 30 1/2" inseam (53 cm frames?) and weigh about 165lbs.
I'm really looking forward to this for all the right reasons (no wide white belts and hip huggers for me at this stage of the game...just looking forward to some pure bicycle speed without the cars, potholes, etc.
Thanks in advance for your help.
