Aero Frame option list
I wil update this post as more people contribute.
apparently i cant update the first post with more than 10 images
If you guys could put a link to the maker site above the picture that would be fantastic!!
so people can see geometry, find authorized retailers etc etc etc
I personally want to get an aero frame, mainly because i like the beefy look, so i was hoping to get a list of them together and make a single thred to help people that want one.
(aero frame as in flat bar type frame as opposed to round tube type, has the cutout for the rear tire in the seattube, etc)

have you seen a leader in real life? it's pretty obvious.
they weld the seatclamp portion of the seat tube right on the top, like a half stack at IHOP.
i wish there were more felt dealerships around here. i'd love a tk3.

I have nothing against Leader, just their wacked geometry with their aluminum "track bikes." Seems like you will need a huge ass tire to fill in the gaps between the seat tube and also the downtube. It makes no sense to design an aero bike that needs anything more than 23/25 tires.

Do the Capo and the Cdale track qualify as aero? Seems like they were just round aluminum tubes, but correct me if Im wrong.

Yokota you might want the cliff note the fuji track pro with what I mentioned to you earlier.
Fyi guys the Track Pro's production has been put on halt because of serious issues with the frames chain line. I went to my LBS today to try and get one for Grant and they called their rep to find out about close prices on the 09's. The rep informed them that they wouldn't be shipping any frames out for a while and that they may even end up recalling some of the later produced 09s. If anyone has any more info on this just post it up.

Agreed. They're priced pretty reasonably, like a Fuji Track Comp.
Which reminds me, there's the Motobecane Track team:

And the Masi Coltello frameset:
