Buying a decent track bike

Postby sam86 » Wed Oct 22, 2008 11:09 am

Just started riding track and its getting very addictive. I am using the clubs Hillbrick Pistas but looking at buying a track bike. What do you guys recommend for a decent track bike and where is the best place to buy a bike online.

I have been looking at the hillbrick completes but looking for something above the Pista but not too sure. I would like a higher end alloy frame with a carbon fork. I will be upgrading the wheels and groupset later as I have can obtain shimano and mavic gear easy and cheap but can not get my hands on any track frames or forks.

Is it easier to buy a complete and upgrade several parts or in my case buy a frame and fork and build it up.
