yes yes, another first track bike post...
I'm looking for a track bike to use on the velodrome + some alley cats/street sprints... but not so much as an urban fixie.... I would also use it for some training road rides...
I saw a Felt TK3 the other day in a shop and was immediately taken by it's drop dead sexy-ness... I've been looking at other bikes, and have come across a few options.
1) Felt TK3 for $999 cdn.
2) old stock KHS Flite 100 $499
3) Raleigh Rush Hour for $699
the felt is aluminum and sexy as hell.... the only thing that I have any reservation about is the amount of toe overlap.
The other two are steel and seem to have a bit more relaxed geometry.
anyone have any opinions or thoughts on these bikes, or able to suggest something else?
I would like to stick to $1000 budget. and given the KHS is half the price of the felt, I could likely put some money into a nicer saddle or even wheels....
thanks!
