LIVERY classic track frame

These are not that new, but there is something nice about these Livery Design Gruppe´s frames. Last winter I had plans to get their lugged fork, but they did not have any on stock at that time. Since that I´ve been checking their site casually. Standart track seems to have good geometry for street use. Made out of Reynolds 520 tubes and You may choose whether You want 1" or 1-1/8" head tube. Price is also ok, I think.

METALLICO

When the "dildo-bar" is not enough:

"Unlike the first generation of Super Bulls which started out as a Nitto B123, this time the bar is a Metallico original, made from steel in Japan. The ends are capped and welded shut, and then the bar is chromed. The drop bar is customised at a small East Osakan workshop, an area famous in Japan for its hundreds of tiny 'kodawari' engineering, and small parts factories. "
