I'm looking for a racey dedicated track frame (steep seat tube angle, etc). I saw a nice one from business cycles in all black.....$595 (nice steel one too)
Who makes nice track frames out there?
P.S. I'm looking into a SOMA also.

umm, that's a pretty wide net you're casting there, wanna get a little more specific?
i.e. materials, style of riding you're gonna do, how much you mass, price range.
otherwise we'll just point you at a japanese keirin frame and drool.
Customs are Richard Sachs,Vanilla, Johnny Cycles, Yamaguchi etc.

I have ridden DeBernardi, Surly, Fuji, Merckx, and Indy Fab.
So far, I really like my Debernardi best. Can't wait to try a Japanese-made track specific frame. Ganbarimasu!

Yeah the Nessuno looks awesome......very sleek and purposeful (that's the one I want so far). For some reason I don't think a converted road frame is gonna work that well (sloppy geometry on most road bikes), plus drop outs that are too wide etc.

An army of couriers and posengers with road conversions would disagree.
But track frames are sweet.

as usual, i'll blow spicer cycles horn. but yeah, those nessuno frames are pretty sweet. wonder what the geometry is on them? john doesn't have it listed yet. spicer geometry, at least on the 56cm i ride, is 75 headtube and 75 seattube. with the track fork the headtube angle actually becomes closer to 76 degrees.
