  • First off my bad if there's a thread for this but my search skills didn't turn anything up...
    disclaimer out the way!

    I'm looking to buy myself a nice stiff track frame that gunna last me a few years and perhaps even be used on an actual track.(manchester probs) but everything i come across that might be in my price range seems to stop at a size of 58 or 60? and i'm 6 ft 4 and a bit so i was wondering if track sizing is different or the track lot are all short arses?

    cheers folks

    Also a 61 was put up on ebay finds earlier today might be a little small but its a start.

  • cheers fella current frame is a 60 and i'm feeling the effects of riding it for 2 years :|

  • Large steel track frames come up ocassionally on e bay/here, I've got a 62cm frame and seen larger about. Also look at Condor frames, Dolan might make you a large frame

  • the larger the frame size the less stiff its gonna be, what length top tube and stem do you currently ride?

  • yeah steel frames are no problem but i'm always out the saddle and the frame bends about a fair amount :( as for dolan didn't know they did custom builds?

    true hence why i'm after a ali or maybe carbon jobby perhaps. current top tube it 22 1/2" and stem is 5".

    i think 62 is probably about right :) & i nice frame! bet i couldn't afford it haha
