Steel Track Frame Recommendations ?

Posted on
  • Looking for a steel track frame for commuting and racing (outdoor track league). Want a drilled front fork for a brake.

    Have been looking at as a starting point :-

    Cinelli Gazetta - Cheap, readily available. Quite like the current colour scheme. Would prefer 1" threaded headset though
    Mercian Super Vigorelli - Visited Mercian yesterday and loved the frames in the showroom. However 10 month waiting list and quite pricey - I'd be worried about locking it up
    Vintage Italian - Looking in the usual places, but not many around and in my size (58)
    Japanese - Love some of the frames on NJS Export, but not drilled for a brake. Japanese track frames with a drilled front fork are somewhat rarer ?
    Bob Jackson Vigorelli OTP - Probably my front runner if the waiting list isn't too long. Mid priced and custom to a degree

    Anything else I should be considering ?

  • Have a look at Brother Cycles - they have a nice Reynolds 725 frame and also the cheaper but still good Classic Track.

    Classic Tracks pop up on here every now and then for not too much. I sold one on here myself last year. Great frames (I never actually rode mine on a track though).

  • New iteration of the Cinelli Vigorelli is steel

    Brother Cycles also do a reasonably priced track frame that seems to get plenty of positive reviews

  • Thanks both. I think I probably prefer the Cinelli Gazetta over the Swift, and a Bob Jackson Vigorelli 725 is similar money to the Brother 725 frame.

    Didn't realise the Cinelli Vigorelli was steel now, will have a look (although I prefer a more classical frame).
