HoKe-
Well… it was always my dream (track) frameset so getting rid is probably a bit too harsh
I put it online expecting it to take months to sell but then it took 36hrs lol
The frameset was an opportunity a year ago and within that year I made the perfect build out if it (for my standards).
at this point I always start to think about the use of the finished project. And with the frame being used ~5 times in a year it is a bit too much budget resting in the basement.
Also, I wanted some (financial) flexibility with all the saeco framesets lining up and having the ambition to make a kick-ass mgoof next year
(That said, note that some years ago I decided to spend money on bikes only from money off of bikes and not let that hobby affect my salary/savings. So with this thumb rule in mind I think it made sense to let it go)
@kjlem before I got the 496 I had no trackbike for a year and as I was not happy without a trackbike.
So yea… there will be definitely something coming. Depends a bit on whether I will sell the wheels and crankset, too. If yes, probably steel (njs?), if not, maybe 2000-is aero (alloy)? Open for inspo :-))
Probably a bit more budget friendly than the LOOK, lets see :-)

Thanks guys
Couple more 496 photos in its best state: dropbars, black DA cranks and assioma pedals
Probably the last set of pictures as I decided to let the frame go 🙄
