i cant say enough about spicer cycles. gene builds nice bikes, aluminum and steel frames. the aluminum frames are very reasonably priced, as are the steel frames. whats awesome about gene, besides the fact that he's super nice and his customer service is amazing, is that you buy the track components from him he'll put the stuff on at his shop and not charge for labor or anything. i just recently got an aluminum track frame/steel fork from him and can't be happier. as a matter of fact, my house burned down on sunday with both my bikes in it and the spicer was buried under a ton of water, sheetrock and ash and it came out unscathed for the most part. i also have a steamroller that i love (yeah it made it out of the fire as well), but if he wants a "true" track frame gene's stuff is awesome. go to www.spicercycles.com for info on his stuff.
