2010 Bikes

Its a funny celeste green.

It is poo.

Bit of a boardman fanboy.

Probably a re-post but beautiful none the less.

Couldn't find mention of this little beaut anywhere else...

New Kona "The Rat" F&F, about £500.

The geometry looks good but at £500 for a nothing special cromo frameset they are taking the piss.
How much was the Steamroller again!

steamroller ff is about £330 I think. can't imagine the kona being £170 better.

identiti fixed freestyle frame

and the moda track
pic is small but the big one was twice the size of my monitor

That Persona looks pretty interesting, I love my Dr Jekyll. Cheapish at £275 too.

And available in chrome, which is not that common.

**Fort R37.SX Track frame
**$749 (£465)

Look 464 is going for $800 f&f, so presumably about £600 when it get here.

I like the Look ^. If only they could have used a larger downtube logo though

Felt TK1
$6000 f&f, and some fuxn hipster will probably get one and fit risers and spoks

...and then start complaining about the lack of barspinnability.

i would have this over the giant omnium any day of the week

At that price, I'd still go for the old orange Koga, £579 here:

464 has 73.5 sta, 73.5 hta, and 43mm rake?

that's pretty slack right? for an out and out track frame. is this being marketed towards street use?

Felt TK1

Awesome - all it needs is risers and spoks

New Kona "The Rat" F&F, about £500.

I just notice that the downtube is pretty thick.

It's designed as an entry level track training/racing frame, but they list it under both the "Track" and "Urban" categories on the website. It actually has a bit less trail than the 496 sprint bike, so you won't have any trouble getting it round the corners :-)

Defo better track ends on the Kona.

that explain why I saw a hipster riding one of those with riser on clerkenwell road the other day.

do you know of a good, easy to understand, online resource for bicycle geometry?

I know a bit but have yet to fully get my head around trail...

On a bicycle, fit is important but steering geometry is all but irrelevant. People writing road tests for magazines talk about it with an air of spurious authority, but in point of fact nobody can tell the difference across quite a wide range in blind tests.

The [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle_geometry]Wikipedia[/ame] article is a reasonable introduction, and most of the more advanced topics in steering of single track vehicles are really only relevant to motorcycles.
