What track frame do you like for $1000?

at $1000 bucks (or a couple hundred more), you can find quite a few custom builders who do whatever you want.

Cycles Marinoni in Montreal Quebec - www.marinoni.qc.ca - who has probably made more custom frames than anyone in N.Am over the past 30 years, will make you one for less than $1000, and 1000 Canadian at that. And full custom too. We just got a fleet of ten teens' rentals at out track (650c wheels, Zona tubes, 3 color) and they are VERY nice.

Lucky u... I have one... but a road one... the best machine I ever had so far today...I even like it better than a colnago master I sold because I never got used to it (those things happens) but with the Ridley a few days and thats it... like a glove.. I know some people that goes to London's canada velodrome and use ridley track bikes and they are very very very pleased with them... how big are u anyways?
