Craigslist.

I picked up a frame (and fork, headset) of extreme hotness tonight for an excellent price. Of course I have no real need for the frame per say, but can't pass up a good deal.

for that price, if it's just the frame and fork you'd be better off just buying a new one.

That shop in Kensington might still have some Fuji Track bikes left....I saw them for $450 not too long ago. I am still really tempted to get one myself, that is a good price.

Or, somehow, figure out a way to get one of those BikesDirect frames up here. Even with our dollar tanking against the US$buck, it is still a good deal.

The owner is so ****ing annoying it turns me off those bikes completely...


That shop in Kensington is alright. I bought a bike there once and the guy I dealt with was very helpful and patient with my then uninformed self.

hey i know this is a long shot, but does anyone know of any used/older track frames with slightly steeper-than-road geometry for sale? 52cm-53cm? lugged?

want to build up something for a friend thats not a conversion! thx!

I enjoyed it too. Make sure you take apart your washing machine, too ;) :D To answer your post from a bit ago about tomorrey, I'm probably going to swing by CM, check out the Polo (I've not heard or read of any race details for the halloween alleycat, so I assume I'm not cool enough) and then head off to a partay.

I am sitting here thinking up a ride route to do tonight , I never had time before to go to watch an allycat only to look at the pic's after when posted, still not to keen on cm but was told a psycho roadie from my friends work is going around saying he is going to be the leader at cm tommorow night and make peeps go where he wants . it might be fun to see him get arrested

Any true track frame should have steeper than road geometry. If you have not tried High Park Cycles, it's worth a shot. You either get a nice old bike for a decent price or you get high balled and shunned from the store....roll the dice.

Stuart,

I checked in at BoW today for you. They're selling Mark V framesets for $290 and Mark V Pro framesets for $340. In my quick glance around I saw one that looked tall enough to be a "56" or "59" maybe (those are IRO's nominal sizes). There also looked to be some smaller stuff kicking around but I was under the impression you were taller than shorter.
