Urbanites I can't comment on, Cylcemania are generic import frames I believe. Last time I checked the wheels were formula hubs to alex rims, decent components everywhere else, been awhile since I checked out the track bikes there. $450 cash was the price I got (in October) w/out brake. Close to 500 with one installed. Most likely where I'll end up buying one if the money sitution is ever in my favour, which I doubt.
i'm riding an urbanite ss/track frame and it's fine. nothing fancy (4130 straight-gauge), but it's solid, the paint is durable and it has fender eyelets. for that price it's worth it.
thanks for the heads up, much appreciated.
