Recommended? For a beginner track cyclist (pure track, no street).

Feedback appreciated, thanks.

the geometry is pretty street-y. not to mention weird.
slack angles.
a 53cm frame w/ a 54 cm TT. then a jump to a 56 cm frame w/ 58 TT? WTF?

if you're just looking for cheap aluminum, then maybe the chucksbikes.com 2005 Tsunami frame might be good. no idea about the geometry though. or maybe spicer.

I really want someone on the forum to buy one of the Tsunami frames....

he has other sizes in the 2005 model for $285. w/ a steel fork.

someone has suggested that they're made by the same Taiwanese OEM supplier that makes the Jade frames as well.

Interesting... I did look into chuckbikes but for whatever reason, it doesn't "strike my fancy."

I am looking for a quality track bike that could be built up for less than $700.

seriously check out spicer. gene is awesome and he has quality "standard" track frames reasonably priced, in steel and aluminum.
