For shorter folks, such as adults between 4′10 and 5′5″, it’s tough to find a track bike that fits. A lot of people make do with a 48cm or 50cm bike, riding with a short riser bar instead of track drops. Not only is the top tube length typically too long, track bikes have higher bottom brackets than road bikes (to prevent pedal strikes while cornering). A higher bottom bracket translates to a higher standover height.
The solution is not just a different frame, but a different wheelset. Fuji’s Track 650 makes use of a less-common but universally recognized wheel size, the 650c. The Track 650 comes in one size only, with a 43cm seat tube, a 50cm top tube and 697.3mm (27.5 inches) of standover height.
The Track 650 retails for $570. Visit www.fujibikes.com for more info.
The Boulder Velodrome, http://303cycling.com/boulder-velodrome has like 50-ish of these bikes they provide to users, if you are interested in knowing more then post something on the forums,http://303cycling.com/boulder-velodrome/forum I’m sure you will hear a lot… My opinion is that the tires are WAY to big for track racing.
after i sold the georama, i bought one of these, changed some stuff around and love it.
How high in do i need to be to fit it (in CM.)
