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

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.

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.
