Soma Rush Frameset Pelham Blue
Best steel track frame for versatile, comfortable urban riding and commuting.
This is a rare breed of track bike that trades pure velodrome rigidity for the versatility of a daily workhorse. Its steel construction soaks up road chatter beautifully, though you will need to hunt down specific long-reach calipers if you plan on adding brakes.
