Which one to choose from?
 
I have sold my keyboard and have $950 for a bike, I have many option though the felt tk3, trek t1, and moto team track. I want this for track use and also on the road. I don't know which one to go for maybe the one with the best stock parts. I just can't decide. Im thinking about going with the team track but is there a bike with similar geo i could try at the lbs so i know which size to get? I know either the 52 or 54 would prob fit. Im about 31.5 inseam and 5'8 1/2

Weren't you recently selling something else and trying to decide between a completely different choice of bikes?

The whole "try it at the shop, buy it online" move is one of the ****tiest things you can do.

What happened to buying a beach cruiser for your mother?

What happened to your rattlecanned Maddy? You know you broke Scrod's heart.

It was a thread about buying just a frame for 7-900. I figured it would make more sense to just buy a complete track bike by the end of it once someone mentioned a moto team track. Did some research and found a few similar bikes for the same price now I cant deicde.

lol hey I still love my maddy and will never get rid of it. I wanted the 08 didnt like the 09 color scheme to much so I just jump started the changing process by getting rid of the yellow decals. I would replace the rims but theyre holding up very well i dont like the color yellow to much but im not gonna get rid of the rims while they're working perfect just to get a color i like hah.

It's just to hold me over until I either 1. get it powercoated or 2. sand it down and make it chrome.

my kilo got rattlecanned in the process of removing. dont know what to use without messing up the stock paint as well

anyways i would personally get a t1 because well....there sexy

xkillemallx16 08-08-10 07:49 PM

team track. dura ace cranks seals the deal fo me.

however do not plan to use a track dedicated bike for the road.

it will not be comfortable.

Will be the position be more relaxed if you throw some bullhorns on there?

Less of a flat back position, but not really.

xkillemallx16 08-08-10 08:45 PM

no it would not.

your answer is in the eighthinch headtube extender - it slacks up the geo quite a bit. (barspins too, bro). however, its ugly.

maddy for road (72.5/73 h/st i believe), moto team track (74.5/75?) for track.

Post a pic of the Maddy.

Squirrelli 08-08-10 10:28 PM

Oh boy, it'll be tough for Scrod.

Theres a pic of it on here somewhere, ill try to find the thread.

Philasteve 08-08-10 11:34 PM

I think im gonna go with the 54 moto the geo vs my small madison seems to match up around the same.

EssEllSee 08-09-10 09:38 AM

I think the most important question here is what kind of keyboard did you sell that netted you 950$?

Philasteve 08-09-10 03:49 PM

Yamaha mo 8 goes for 1600 but with warranty and tag about 1900
