This bike, with all the braze-ons left on. I like the road bike fix more than custom track bikes. It probably wouldn't be practical as someone would find a way to steal it.

I don't know where you all ride, but I really like true track geometry. I live and ride in nyc and the traffic here is dense, so being able to react really quickly is a nice thing for me. As far as toe overlap goes, I've gotten used to it. I don't really find the need to turn that hard usually anyway.

And while I know it does not last, what's wrong with aluminum? No one has even mentioned aluminum bikes, or even those fancy alu/carbon rides that all the pros are on these days. For me, aluminum frames provide a much more responsive(or more rigid) ride. Granted, I'm a big guy(6',200lbs), and it suits my riding style more. But my cannondale track bike sees much more mileage than my two vintage italian steel rides.

two very good points. do you ride an older canny? i do, and i like the way it handles, but i'm 5 inches shorter and 100lbs lighter than you, and i find it a little too stiff. that's why i'd prefer steel.

Yeah, it's an old blue one. Stiffest frame made according to Damon Rinnards's(sp?) test, for whatever that's worth. And yeah, size and weight and riding style definitely come into play here.

Great frame though, too bad I'll probably break it at some point.

SEX?! Hahah
So, a custom bar from the union of a Jones bar and Nitto Moustache, huh? Well, don't know if there is anything like that out there, but to add to what the other guy said about Yamaguchi bikes, IMO - the trickest, slickest track bar of them all is the custom Yamaguchi bars that Koichi Yamaguchi makes. I think he calls them the Boomerang Bars. Its cool! You don't even use a stem!

Check it out: www.YamaguchiBike.com - click on Components. There's also a pic of Erin Hartwell's Olympic pursuit bike somewhere on the website. He's got the custom fitted Boomerang Bars on there. Bada BING! Now, back to the sex part.

gold plated bianchi chrono (track frame that dosen't exist) on two campy discs (gold plated, with nitto 019 bars (gold) and oh yeah all gold record pista. When I talk gold I mean realy old plate.

It's called aztek god

i think you and i are pretty close to having the same dream bike...except I'd have to go for all black...entirely black, not your average run of the mill black, i'm talkin about the deepest darkest "i'm in the middle of the woods at 4am" and i can't see three inches in front of my face" black. The rims, spokes, bullhorn bars, chain..everything black.The hubs i'm unsure of as I've been less than satisfied with my suzue pro-max and don't have the money for new ones. I hear rumor of a three splined lock ring-less hub out there, i'm interested to see this if anyone knows the company.

my bike would be impervious to drivers running me off the road or cursing at me, car doors opening, and i'd never ever get a flat...ahhh i can dream can't I.
