Do any of you guys know of any custom frame builders that do track frames, or have had experience working with custom builders? I wanted to buy a LOW, but also wanted to check out others work before committing to a (kind of) custom frame. I'm in the SF Bay Area if that helps for suggestions. But as long as they ship internationally thats an option as well... Thank you.

Go with a Japanese track builder, they may cost a little more or even less sometimes, and will be the best bang for your buck

Wew lad, wrong metal

>>926594
It'd be for daily commute/ joyrides so I don't want a steel frame to lug around all day. I live in a flat city with trails so i wanna /////GO FAST/. Price range for a custom frame would be 1-3k but id like to keep it around 1-2k .

Your a faget, what you are thinking of is a fixie not a track bike. Bike weight has zero effect on speed on flat lands apart from acceleration.

>>926617
youre a faggot, faggot

>>926615
Listen to >>926617
Track bikes aren't built with weight in mind as much as aerodynamics, in fact, some older track bikes weight less than modern garbon track bikes

check out colossi

>>926648
I understand, I just need some suggestions man... thats all I wanted.
>>926649
They're cool but the obnoxious graphics they put on their bikes are not the best looking.
>>
>>926657
if it is custom can't you have the builder paint it whatever color you like? Custom steel will be easier to find than any other material and with a good builder it will be just as fast as any other material.

wow. a steel track bike will still weigh less than 17lbs, build up right. get a kilo tt and put nice components on it

>a steel track bike will still weigh less than 17lbs, build up right
That is because track bikes are inherently light if not using all junk parts because there are significantly fewer parts on it. My aluminum frame track bike is 15 lbs, even with a 2100-2200 g wheelset. If I used the same budget on a road bike with similar frame and wheels, it would probably be 18-19 lbs

Seven builds custom TI geo, they don't work with Aluminium that I know of..Ti/Steel//Carbon. They'll put track dropouts on any of their builds if you ask.
Low isn't custom Geo, only paint.

you want aero, not light

>>926825

konga dose sick stuff.

last time I was looking for a track frame I stumbled upon mielec in german forum.
they said you could get a frame for around 200€ from them and that they did group orders from time to time where the price went down even more so.

that's quite something.
we could come up with a /n/ bike
