Well as I understood it the velomine track fram might be maxway? Tubing. Scrod or someone else would have to chime in on that. The lightning is a great bike, and I hope to own one shortly, but am in the process of moving from Utah to the la area, so I'm saving right now. I can't say enough about the lightning, it was just so light and quick. It handled great and you notice how light it is right away, but especially on climbs.

I wasn't looking at the pake frame, I'm just riding a bridgestone conversion right now. A 1988 rb2. I love this bike for getting around town, but I am ready for a lightning. If I get play money I will probably try to build up he velOmine frame just for the enjoyment of building a bike. But if it was going to he one bike, it would be a wabi lightning. Now to decide between the matte black and the orange.


Soon precious, soon...
