After a year riding on recycled coke cans I've decided to get a steel track frame again! I had a great time on my alu frame but I want a more solid feeling frame again.

I'll have around £500 to spend and I'd like something handsome looking with tight geometry, so far I've seen the Cinelli Gazzetta (~ £430) which seems really nice but if anyone begs to differ or have any other ideas please say!

Brother cycles Reynolds track frame

They seem to be out of stock, but you should be able to find one at a shop.

Also think the TFG S2 look pretty good... blue silver

Or a custom Pelizzoli: http://www.pelizzoliworld.com/products/pista/ ~£800 I dream of this frame!

Cheaper non-custom Pelizzoli: http://www.pelizzoliworld.com/products/corsa-gp-2/ ~£640

Custom frame would be sweet, both Goff and Pelizzoli look nice. The non-custom Pelizzoli looked really good though, but I can see the bailiff walking down the street in my mind if I splash out too much..

Should check out Bob Jackson also I guess.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
