Wanted: 62cm+ track frame

Posted on
  • I'm after a big track frame. I guess ideally alu, nothing too fancy/expensive as I intend to actually ride it on the track.

    I'm 6'6" so the bigger, the better. HT probably needs to be at least 215mm. Should be 1 1/8 or bigger ahead, no quills please.

    I've got a suitable fork already, but if it comes with one that could be fine.

    Let me know what you've got!

  • Bump! :)

  • Bump!

  • I cant seem to search properly but a pal of mine has a big bike/frame that might suit @Rouleur75 is his handle so search his threads

  • Cheers, it's a lovely bike but I'm after frame only, no braze-ons, purely for track :)

    Not Alu but is lovely.

    You really that tall, shit

  • Haha, yeah man, you've seen me! Maybe I need to work on my posture?

    Problem with that frame is, it's too lovely. I need something cheap and slightly knackered that I can take to HH and not be too worried about breaking. If you ever get rid of the Ridley, let me know!

  • Why would you break it at herne hill. Unless you plan on crashing then you'd be fine and it's not mad expensive for a full build, get it / stick some nicer cranks on.

    But if it's not for you then fair enough :)

    There's always the pre-cursa for a cheap starter? The 60 of them is pretty big, very cheap if you already have a fork too. (Guessing it's not big enough tho)

  • Yeah it's partly the idea of potentially crashing. My Dedacciai was a gift and means a lot to me, so I'd rather avoid breaking it. Plus, since getting my Kinesis I want to stick a disc fork on the Dedacciai and leave it set up as my fixed road bike.

    Would like to have a cheap alu thing made of 2nd hand bits (got almost everything except frame ready to go) that'll do for the track and I won't be too precious about.

    I did try a 60cm Dolan for a bit, but found it very long and low, so I gave it to my little brother. He's not doing anything with it, so maybe I'll build it up but would prefer something with a longer HT and shorter TT.
