About 850 will get you new Avanti Pista, if you twist your dealer's arm a bit. Otherwise 900 is the retail price. I think the Hillbrick Ryan Bayley Signature is in that range as well. Specialized Langster - about 1400, but that's more of a street bike that can be 'trackified'. If you can find a Fuji track bike anywhere, apparently its fairly inexpensive compared to the above, but I'm not sure how much. My guess would be about 700 for a new specimen. n |

Re: Wanted: 2nd Hand Track Bike ( Melbourne )
Depending on where you live of course, but theses are some clubs that have a strong track scene (and velodromes)-
Carnegie Caulfield, Blackburn, Coburg, Brunswick, Northcote. That is just off the top of my head so aopologies to any clubs I have left out. Track racing is available all year round now to with winter racing at night on the indoor track at DISC in Northcote. |
