Lots of good info there.

I don't necessarily agree with the one-size-smaller frame sizing, though. I think that's one of the biggest misconceptions around. I think it's smarter to say that your track bike may not necessarily be the same size as your road bike.

For example, my road bike is a 58cm and my current track bike is also 58cm. 57cm is too short. I'm looking to pick up a 59cm track frame soon. Definitely not the 56cm that I would get if I misinterpreted that rule of thumb.
