Aluminum Track Bike Photo Thread

Hello, over the past 6 months or so, this forum has helped me immensely with my knowledge of Fixed gear bicycles. Similarly, this thread has also given me the opportunity to scope some of the most beautiful looking machines, each one more unique than the next.

With that being said, I wanted to start a thread that highlights the love for aluminum track bicycles. I hope this thread takes off as much as the Kilo Thread and Scrod's Maddy thread.

Please, post your aluminum bikes here, as I love being inspired by what this community has to offer.

Here is my baby, Masi Coltello. I apologize for the poor photo quality. Ill post some better ones soon.

Wow, stem longer than exposed seatpost, you could've gotten your frame a size smaller.

Mine? It's a 410mm.

To Vixtor: That's the smallest size made, and it suitsme quite well. A lot of people give me crap for the stem, but to be honest, it's there because it's the only 31.8mm stem I have, and I only have 31.8mm drops. The current setup is comfortable for both the track and for street riding. Not everyone has a standard fit. No pain, and it rides the way I like it.

Lol, sorry I raged a bit, but eh, I dunno it fits, I like it, tired of everyone saying you have it setup wrong. It's probably a bit off, but it's as close to as I can get it without a pro fit. I also like the way it's setup ><

Not really a track bike, and it will never set a wheel on a velodrome, but it is aluminum and it is a track frame. Frame only cost me $51 + shipping, so wtf do I care what all you haters think? Thinking of putting some spoke cards in it cuz I hear it's no longer the cool thing to do.
