Maybe an MTB frame? You can find them built for SS/FG and you sit more upright.
In case of fixie it had to be frame with horizontal dropouts. |

I did convert mtb to SS once then gave it to friend.

or chain with half-link
|
Or White Industries ENO (eccentric hub).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't track frames have a higher bottom bracket? If so, then yes, a smaller size is preferable. No one has mentioned this yet, so I figured it was much like sizing a MTB.
|
Bottom bracket height has almost nothing to do with what size frame a rider needs.
|
Yeah, I guess 2 cm is almost nothing.

assuming that:
56cm frame is for 5′ 10″ - 6′ 1″ height 58cm frame is for 6′ 0″ - 6′ 2″ height being 6′ 0″ tall I bought 56cm frame (old racing bike built on 531st tubes) I quickly measured front wheel - bottom bracket, just 1cm shorter than my old 58cm bike so there should be no toe overlap. stem to be replaced by short steep one. thinking about the bar. |
Hey, you all can do whatever you want. Personally, I won't buy a bike that I can't stand over. And I really wouldn't want to be doing a trick and need to put a foot down and injure myself in a sensitive area. Just saying.
|
there are frames with horizontal and sloping top tube.
