Looking for a New Track bike
I'm planning on upgrading from my current fixie; which is a Volume cutter v5 to a newer track bike. I was thinking of a fuji track pro or a Leader 735. My budget is around $500 for just the frame, and maybe fork. Any suggestions on what I should get?
Cheers.
Cheers.

The OP is experiencing the tipicult "I need a new bike" urge. Its a powerful urge, but its a want - rather than a need. I had one just the other day: I need an ugly looking bike so I will feel comfortable leaving it around everywhere. And thus I created a need for what is actually a want. : \

I just feel like getting a new bike haha. My cutter was a gift to me for graduation and I have decided that I wanted to get a new one after I heard my roommate had like a $500 credit for a bike and decided to hop on it.

I am in the market for a bike like Volume Cutter as a beateur bike. Plus it'll double as a bar spin machine #winwin

i love my ftp and hate leaders under 500. i would suggest an affinity lo pro or a clearance dolan, if you don't want to spend a little more and get something far nicer like a vigorelli or a felt tk3.
