Steel Track Bicycle

When you say 'track', do you mean you want something for the velodrome, or do you mean a fixie for the road? If the latter then there are plenty of Chinese built steel fixies on the market at that price, selling under various brand names. Geometry will be more road biased. If you really want a proper track frame then it will cost you more, I'm afraid.

Yep, I mean "track" track, high bb, aggressive angles, etc.

The USA bike I was considering has 73 degree angles, and I find that too relaxed for me, it also has a longer wheelbase.

I'm ideally after something like NJS geometry, so I can live with a little bit of fork rake, but would prefer less. Angle of seat post 74 degrees and above.

Btw, general question to all.

Would it be cheaper/easier to get what I want in Italy? If so, how do I even start looking there? (I don't speak the language.)

I figure there are heaps of pista/track bikes there, so there may be cheaper older ones?
