Fyxation East Side track frameset

Hi all,

My apologies if this has been covered (I know some folks get weirdly bent out of shape over repeat threads), but the only info on Fyxation products I've found on here has been in regards to their tires, bars, and other parts.

I'm considering one of their East Side track framesets - they're priced well, look decent, and it would be nice to support a local business.

If anyone on here has an East Side, what are your thoughts on it?

Thanks!

Looks like a solid frame to me.

I've never seen one.

It does pass one test I use when looking at a new product:
They are for sale on the Retrogression website.

I haven't any IRL or online, probably because it's a new product. Looks like a solid entry-level 4130 chromo track frame, comparable to the Pake Rum Runner, Leader 722TS, etc. It's probably not too light or anything but it'll last a long time.

The Eastside is a great entry-level cro-mo frameset, comparable to a Pake Rum Runner but with clearance for large tires and/or fenders.

If Fyxation is local to you, why not just go check one out in person?

Hey Scrod, I'm planning to - just had some things that kept me too busy to make it down there today, so I thought I'd see if any of my fellow bike forum users had ridden one. Always helpful to hear from people who've had some personal experience, imo.

I've built a few up for customers and they're really good bang for the buck.
