rush hour on the track
So, I'm going to start track classes in week or so. I ride a rush hour and was wondering if anyone else here does the same. If so, how do they do on the track? I know they have more road-ish geometry but will it be something that I should worry about? I plan on getting a new frame in the future, anyway. But I just wanna make sure it's not gonna completely suck until I do.
Thanks.
Thanks.

No, it'll be perfectly fine to ride on the track.

No problem. Nobody else posts in this subforum, so I might as well help someone out.

Yeah, I had a friend who did his last two seasons on his Rush Hour, in addition to commuting and sandwich delivery. It's a good bike and will cut it just fine at the track.

It's not the bike, it's the rider. You may be better served on another bike, but it won't make as huge a difference as most people would like to think.
