  I ride on an old Peugeot aspin frame - It looks fab and is annoyingly heavy for me so could be ideal for you.

  Hi everyone,

  not sure if it's me being hopeless in using the search option or if actually the matter has not been raised yet on the forum. I'm relatively new to the forum and currently owning and riding a Cinelli bootleg 2012 bought after the suggestion of a supposed to be trusted friend.
  Unfortunately I'm not that impressed with the bicycle itself and a bit ashamed of the overall quality of the frame itself, in fairness, for the price of the bike I would have expected better. Anyway life is tough and the show must go on and I'm looking to move onto something different.

  Googling around I fell in love with the old Fuji Track and Fuji Track pro type of frame, the ones with integrated seat post to give the idea and I seen that planet-x has some very cool product in stock of the same/similar shape.

  Now my question as per subject is, is there any particular reason why to avoid a track bike/frame on road other than the higher rigidity and stiffness of the frame itself? I know that I might going to sound very superficial here it's been love at the first sight with those frames and I can't now imagine myself riding anything else.

  What's your ideas on the subject?

  Thanks for you help. Cheers.

  I do it, it's great fun but be careful to avoid pot holes etc
