New aluminum track frame.
my old steel track frame is kinda worn out and i want something stiffer for the track, i've been looking at a ton of frames and so far here are my choices, Unknown LV2, affinity kissena, leader 735, tiemeyer (out of production), Aventon, and specialized langster pro. Don't really know which one i wanna get since they're all pretty much the same but i really like the Aventon.

Do you know what you want as far as frame geometry goes? I feel like that should be the deciding factor given those options.

you can still get a tiemeyer, last time I talked to him at least, it just won't be custom, but it will be a lot cheaper. he had some standard sized versions available

Pretty sure he's sold them all and is done. The website is just an image now, and his contact information has been removed.

Where do you live? What kind of riding are you going to do? What was your old bike that you "wore out"? What didn't you like about it?

Your cog is slipping.
Leader = zero toe overlap.

Angie had no toe overlap on the frame that Greg has now. She was using size small MKS clips though. I have none on my 55cm 725.
