My problem with track frames is the geometry. I have fairly big feet and set my cleats back almost all the way. On a track bike I get bad toe overlap, which is an issue riding a fixed cog because I can't make tight turns, I can't spin my foot back away from the front wheel. Almost went down a couple of times because of that. Bought my Wabi because it had road geometry (and two bottle cage brazeons) and I have no toe overlap with it. if it wasn't for that I probably would have bought an EAI/Toya Godzilla frame. They're pretty sweet. But the Wabi is the perfect one speed bike for people who actually go on normal long road rides and not just blasting around the city for short distances.

And if someone knows a source that has Reynolds 725 tubing decals, besides direct from Reynolds in the UK let me know. Can't find one anywhere on the internet. I don't know why Wabi doesn't put the decals on their bikes. Makes me wonder if it's really 725 tubing.
