ridiculous. the fuji track is not only a nice starter track bike but at the very least a good enough bike for a velo. i own one also though i have never taken it on the track. the bike is also very good for city riding because its a perfect fit between "good" and "not too amazing you wouldnt want to ride it everyday." tight geo has nothing to do with being a "hipster" so keep that stereotypical response out of here. with that said, the fuji track, along with the pista are somewhat overpriced bikes, both companies make a very nice profit off of them.

The slack geometry debate AGAIN? How many of you slacksayers even race anyway? I understand the Fuji track is popular at velodromes as a rental fleet bike. They are cheap, and get the job done. Anyone serious about making points on the track is going to drop a few more $. Then again isn't track racing more about the engine than the chassis? You can kick tires, and spout cliches all you want, but if you want track cred, all ya gotta do is beat someone on the track.
WELL SAID.

Tight geometry is good for city riding, where there is a lot of traffic. Its not just some hipster thing.
also, WELL SAID.
