Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Per specs, the top tube is 50cm (which is actually the length of the tube itself), but from the middle of the seat tube to the middle of the head tube is actually about 53cm

Cannondale is 63cm, GT is 61cm

most of my road bikes are 62-63. Mighty hard to find track bikes bigger than 61cm, and at that point the top tube/saddle are reaaally far from the ground.

2016 Rio edition. Came with white track grips. I found some Fizik tape that matched the theme.

You might be right.
I use mine mainly for road fixed.
I have a bout 1.5cm of clearance between the tyre and the brake bridge with Continental 4Seasons in 28's.
I have about double that on my Giant TCX running knobby 32's.
