| Need recommendations on a track/fixed bike for a heavy rider Just curious.. Say you are 280LBS and want to ride a new track bike.. What would you buy? I know many will recommend something made with the Surly Steamroller frame. But I don't have the money to build up a frame when I have no parts in reserve. This bike will also be used on bike paths and parks. So new wheels/tires may be needed? Trying to keep it under $1,000. |

| Re: Need recommendations on a track/fixed bike for a heavy rider The MSRP on a Fuji Track SE is only $600 USD. You could build one from used parts + a track hub for even cheaper.
