Help on amazon track frame !!!!

So I badly bent my seat stays on my conversion frame and I want to get a new frame. Does anyone have any experience on this frame right here?

https://www.amazon.com/Track-Fixie-Ro...0625689&sr=1-5

and whats the difference between that and the VISP

Without seeing a geometry chart in particular for the first frame - hard to say how this will handle on the track, or if indeed the BB is high enough to ba safe on tracks with a steeper banking.

If it is for just cruising on the road, I'd post the question in https://www.bikeforums.net/forumdispl...amp-Fixed-Gear as some there may have the same frame...

The amazon bike has a strange spacing for the back wheel.

It is a Visp. Commonly referred to in SS/FG as a "PCO Custom".

The VISP is not a bad bike, just heavy.
