Tough bikes

anyone know of any really strong track or fixie frames? I'm looking into a new frame for when I get enough money together and wondered if anyone has experience with frames that either break a lot or very little- I managed to break the rear stays on an old peugeot touring bike commuter in college once. The planet-x track frame looks pretty tough, and I've read very good things about reynolds 953 tubing. Been bunnyhopping more and more and can't help thinking it'd be a good idea to get a safer frame.

Reynolds 953 is not the sort of thing you would use for a bike that was doing any bunnyhopping!

How about a ridgid mountain bike with trackeds? Moutain bikes tend to have highish b.b plus you can fit 700cc wheels in most of them.

I remember trying to smash up an old Peugeot frame with a claw hammer, don't begin to ask why.
I couldn't dent any of the tubes, I was so ammazed. It was as if it was made of solid bar. It weighed several tonnes, so maybe old Peugeots are solid?

I don't recomend getting anything with Reynolds tubing. Old fashioned budget frames were built really heavy and tough, why not one of them.

The On-one Pompino must be a candidate for tough bikes. It's got braze ons for racks, mudguards etc etc. It'll take 38mm tyres and can be run as a cross bike. If it'll take off road abuse it'll take a few bunny hops sure. I've got one...and i'll admit its not the prettiest...though I have done my best with mine?

What's wrong with Reynolds tubing? Have you any idea how many tough-as-nails track and road frames were built from 531?

That is true Hippy, 531 is tough.
I was trying to say the more budget frames would be stronger. Like Peugeots Carbolight and Reynolds 531.

'Good' Reynolds tubing like 6, 7 or 853 would not take that kind of abuse.
I once dented a 753 frame just by hitting it with my knee.

That's understandable..

Easily done I find!
