Wanna buy a Hand-Made track frame
I sold my bianchi pista.

I have checked the GeekHouse frame,what do you guys think about this?
I would like to know your suggestion on other brand as well.
thanks

Marinoni Pista. MSRP is $695, and you have custom options for an extra $150.

I would honestly be very surprised if you could find a comparable bike at that price. I was considering getting one myself, but decided to save my pennies for a surly cross-check frame instead (Toronto weather is a *****).

Blog called cycloculture ran a piece about a frame maker named Allan Wanta. Mentioned something about $850 for custom frames, which fits the budget you mentioned. No affiliation or any idea if he's any good.
