This bike no more requires a pro fit than any other if it isn't your first bike and no worthwhile fit is refundable.

Why would you spend $400 to go from one mediocre wheelset to another.

funny that in all the ridiculous added expense you didn't mention the one that is actually required for track racing... cogs and rings. Accept inflation and realize that 1500 is probably about what you can expect to pay for a pretty nicely speced aero track frame.

removable ends are a simpler solution than inserts. They're also stronger, don't rely on obnoxious little screws that can get in the way and be hard to replace and are all around superior solution if you're taking your wheel on and off 5 times every ride.

While I am opposed to integrated seat masts I think the real argument for them isn't weight or stiffness but that aero seatposts even in high end bikes are prone to slipping. The connection between mast and saddle holder on most looks a lot more solid.

wow I hope that's true. I've been looking forward to cheap cf track bikes. Still wish it didn't have the mast but I may get one if they're going to be available as a frame only.

well someone better tell fuji so they stop puttin that "alloy" sticker on the seatstay.

Ill Mitch 08-28-08 02:18 PM

It's definitely Aluminum, if it was carbon there's no way it'd only be $1500 and it says "alloy" on the seat-stay.
