But very strange that they don't post it on their website.

Good to know that the Hoy is a solid choice.
They list the fork offset at 45mm...that's a road fork. It'll work OK, but the leading track bike manufacturers are using 30-35mm with 40mm being the upper limit.

Dolan: 30mm
LOOK 496: 34mm
Felt TK1: 40mm

Also 55mm is kinda low for a bottom bracket drop.

Between the two, I'd suggest the Hoy.
