Finally, an affordable LOOK track frame

Aus RRP is about $1500, but can be had for under $1k shipped from chari and co. (should avoid import duty at that price)
LOOK and drool.

Anyway, just thought I would share it. It looks like a top bit of kit to me.

Nearly 2Kg seems heavy for a modern alloy frame without any fittings, eh.sogood wrote:When did track riders start to worry excessively about weight?brentono wrote:Look, Look, Look is all I see. Look...'s heavy to me.
And as I said, "LooK"s heavy.
Track Riders, are like anybody else, mate, when you reach a level (you may, some-day?)
every little thing counts, I can personally vouch for that (more so than road riders)
Every millimeter and microsecond counts, if your not familiar with the track, and competition.
Hope that helps your understanding.
Cheers,

Did the research include a Pantone colour match on the end product?foo on patrol wrote:So long as you, have done your research, on the frame and you're happy with it, that's all that matters.
I like the colour scheme on it.

Just go for one of these,
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/fixie-track-fixe ... 414f374854
Doubt you would notice the "differance", when you LooK at it, and save yourself ~80% of the price.
Can put the savings to some "LOOK" decals.
Anyway, all the best, it will only be the time you put in on the bike,
that will make the final difference.

With less "dangly" bits than a roadie, there can be more weight in the frame which usually results in a stiffer bike. Perfect for power transfer. So because the frame maybe heavier than a roadie frame doesnt mean trackies dont watch their weight.
BTW i dont worry about weight!!

Are there any shops in the Sydney area that keep a reasonable range of track bikes in store? Most places I've visited all have to order a bike in order for me to be fitted for it... And if I don't end up getting it I'd feel like I was wasting their time.

Went for $1455.90 and must be two happy punters, buyer and the seller.
A very nice frame.
