Sorry if im being annoying here but...
The Geometry of this bike doesnt make much sense.
I am 5'8" , not the biggest bloke but like to think of myself as bigger than a child. Yet I need a 52cm, top tube.
These frames have a 53cm TT making them far from suitable for a small person/child. Even in your picture the bike has had to be setup with a BMX style short stem, which puts the bars well behind the wheel centre which will make the bikes handle poorly.
A short seatube does not make these "small bikes" for small people. A shorter TT & possibly 650c wheels would.
Also, why such a long back end? Surely something a little tighter would be better for a track specific bike?
