This bike was my baby. I probably put 10k miles on this frameset easy. I was unemployed for a while and would just ride this bike all day every day. I ended up getting bored with it and trading it for a Specialized Tarmac road bike (horrible Idea). Soon After I realized that road bikes are lame and no where near as fast as track bikes for city riding. I still miss this bike; I feel that I was the fastest on this bike of any that I've owned (avg 28mph no joke).

How tall are you? I'm interested in a Felt TK3 I've seen for sale, it's a 56cm too but I fear I may be a bit tall for it at 6'0"?
Beautiful bike by the way.

Thanks man. I'm 5'10" with a wingspan that's 6'2" and long legs. Like all track bikes the felt fit a little small (compared to road bikes). I now ride a 58 Trek T1 (measures 56 even though it's for sure a 58). I was really comfortable on the Felt the way I had it set up, but if I could do it over I would grab a 58. Good luck with your decision.
