Frames
low bicycles currently offers two styles of track frames, the Pursuit and the Track Standard in a
wide.Variety of sizes, color combinations and finishes, so there is something for everybody... as long as you like aggressive aluminum track bikes.
low pursuit
The low pursuit is our more aggressive frame. This is the original Low. Uncompromising in its design, this machine was built to go fast. The low front end profile, 30mm rake Alpina fork, steep angled head and seat tube, tight wheelbase, and tall bottom bracket enable the rider to get down and forward for hard cranking. It’s a remarkably responsive, but stable ride.
For strength and stiffness, this exceptionally light frame features a blend of proprietary oversized Easton 7005 double butted aluminum tubing. Quality workmanship and smooth welds ensure precise handling and superior strength
low track standard
The low track std. is designed to be more of an all-around racing frame. It is more versatile with a more relaxed geometry and taller head tube. It is a bit more stable, better suited to endurance type races - Points, Scratch or the Madison. The Bottom bracket drop is the same on both bikes, 45mm. While the Track is more stable than the Pursuit, they are both snappy, fast frames, and can be interchanged, depending on the rider’s preference.
Like the pursuit, the track std. features oversized Easton 7005 double butted aluminum tubing. Quality workmanship and smooth welds ensure precise handling and superior strength.
