Chrome fixie/track frames?
Postby YouAgainstMe » Sat Mar 09, 2013 9:14 am
I am trying to find a chrome frameset in a larger frame size (60cm+) for around $300. Wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where I might be able to find one? I am happy to buy o/s.

Mojo Speedracer, 4130 crmo, $330 delivered -

Colossi cheeko, Single Butted 6061 Aluminum, approx $380 delivered -

BLB Track frame, 4130 Cro-Mo Steel, approx $550 delivered -

Anyone know which of these are better? Or feedback on any of them?

The cheeko will be frame only, you'll have to buy a fork separately, and pay extra for a fully sik paint job (i've enquired about colossi's before)
The third one, tig welded tubes, ugly unicrown fork and overpriced. Can't see it being any better than the mojo (which at least has a lugged fork)
I'd probably just buy the mojo and pull the stickers off. Cheap, easy.

That's stupid cheap for the cheeko. Significantly dearer going through the Australian distro!

Yep what he said^
Mojo is on PG cromo so will weigh a lot more than the cheeko.
And as for the unicrown fork on that last frame

Have you asked gear in Brisbane if they can price match?

it fits your bill and bonus weigth saving is good....
You can also search for some complete built-up cheeko frame to help decision making.
