Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Did you read what the OP was looking for? Why would he even consider a Fuji Track Pro?

*edit: bikessuck kinda beat me to it.

re-read, definately say $799 which is not more like $500. I would rather buy myself something new than take a chance with a second hand NJS frame anyday.

DUDE, LET ME CUT AND PASTE THE POST.
https://store.citygrounds.com/store/p...Frameset-Grey/ 600.00? + tax
geez toss in another hundred and get a njs?
https://store.citygrounds.com/store/p...Frameset-Blue/ = 800.00 +tax
Both more expensive than a used NJS.. if you take your time, and wait for a good deal, they are out there.

what point are you trying to make by posting two links to frames for sale that the OP never asked about? I could post a link to a Porsche and suggest that he not buy that because he can get a used GTI and have just as much fun. Your ramblings make no sense. And just because you may want a beat up used NJS frame doesn't make that the OP's only option.

GTI. Porsche , wtf are u rambling about? thought we were talking about frames not analogies that make no sense.
You sir are a complete idiot, can you even read? "definately say $799" I NEVER "definately say" 799 for an njs frame. also the gazzetta was mentioned multiple times in this thread (so they were linked). you need to take some reading comprehension classes. also the the frames from bike island are decent as well for the price. oh.. and back to your 12 year old statement "brah, but thanks for playing."

Is it just me, or do the Wabi frames look like their drop outs aren't perfectly horizontal? At least the Classic & Special frames.

What size are you? I have a unridden 54cm Kazane frameset with headset, 1", lugged, and a kashimax TT protector that I'm willing to part with for under $450

Otherwise just look around and don't buy into this NJS bull****... I got a killer deal on a Koga Full Pro Track... $500 NIB w/ 1" fork.

NOOOOO!!! track bikes i love you!
You'll notice a HT angle difference more. One of the reasons I love my Trek T1 (red), light aluminum frame, carbon fork, and a 74-degree head tube. For as much hate as Trek gets, they really did "get it right" on that one.

Why did you link to the Godzilla frame? No one ever mentioned that. And my analogy makes as much sense as any of your posts.

i have a wabi lightning (more slack i think, to lazy to confirm) coming from a trek T1.
it does feel different. and its a difference i liked

Get a wabi lighning. I rode this and the classic, and the lightning made me feel like other bikes are just heavy pos steal. That being said I was looking at the steel frame frome velomine. Check it out on their website. I will not provide a link haha, google it up dawg, it's like a track bike Brahmin. Super fast



Actually here is a link, it's under completes, not frames. I knew this would get confusing haha. https://www.velomine.com/index.php?ma...gjke60rsfb4k91
