I hope that's a joke. I tried the cayne that my LBS had in stock and it was a 53cm. I felt like a clown riding that. |

To anyone who rides one of these, im looking for the standover height for the 51 and 53cm. Im looking to pull the trigger on one but im undecided on which size to get. Wish I could ride one first but the only shop I know that has one deals mostly in just frames and not set up completes. Hows the toe overlap also, seeing that its a more relaxed geometry, i know this comes withe territory of track frames but I had a 52cm KHS flite and the wheel would hit the crank arm! if turned at just the right angle/time. Any help would be appreciated.

A guy at my work rides one, I always notice it locked up... Sheldon Brown style. It's one of two track bikes, and the other's a '05 or '06 pista. I ride the third fixie, a converted raleigh, I always feel bad when I lock up my f....ugly bike next to that sleek red machine.
