would love a track frame but can't be doing with how overpriced they are compared to road frames. Want something steel, preferable lighter than 531 (competition or columbusSL or whatever) would LOVE something built in the midlands, really wanted the pollard Hilary stone had for sale but had vertical drops. Went to see a rourke owned by a guy called Rik on the forum 60cm ctt, perfect, had a dent which I didn't mind, but it had slightly bent the top tube(only a mm or two), rourke said they can try to straighten but to replace would be 50/60 quid, reasonable I thought, but then I've not got a lot of work at the mo so can't spend a fortune. In no hurry as can ride mine for the meanwhile and wait for something that really suits. Got my girlfriend to take my measurements for this http://competitivecyclist.com/ which for a traditional geo frame says I need 62cm ctt and 56cm top tube, which is plenty bigger than what I have (which gives me neck ache after a while) Wow long post. Anyone sees anything then please let me know. Wanted to do the brum to cheltenham on sunday but am in norfolk, anyone doing it?
