VISP and BLUE tr250 question
Yes I did research prior to this question and had little luck!
Does anyone have any reviews on the 2009 VISP Track frame?
Opinions?
Weight: 700Cx500MM Frame 1995 grams(include frame+drop out+bolt,seat clamp), Fork 740-780 grams, Headset 126 grams.
1995=4.39
780=1.71
126=.25
Total= 6.35 pounds?
Also what about the BLUE TR250 frame

Like, how can it suck. short of falling apart, its obviously not heavy. its not a plastic bike. i mean....does it suck since its not a cool japanese maker? or what.

Honestly for what they cost, those frames look pretty badass.
I'm assuming they explode if you hit a pot-hole, which is pretty much the only reason to say a cheap aluminum track frame "sucks".

There is a review on bike forums https://www.bikeforums.net/archive/in.../t-535273.html
I've been riding a Visp for about 3 months and I really love it. i plan on posting some picks in the "post your SS/Fixed gear" thread in a few days.
