Don't like the 2009 colours as much as the 2008 personally:

Also new for 2009, the geared Connoisseur, very pretty:

The new Track pro has just gone straight to the top of my shopping list

Connoisseur

That fork on the connoisseur is sweet.

A shame, I like the 2008 Fuji Track graphic, thought the 2009 is still better than the dreadful 2007 one which sorta screamed "I AM CHEAP! I CAME FROM HALFORD".

the bikes the same.. although they seem to, somehow, have picked an even worse seat!

the pro looks sweet tho!

The colours and graphics are similar but quite different. And yes the saddle is even shitter, if that were possible.

surely the graphics don't matter when riding at the velodrome?

they do if it's a sponsor!

looks a bit chargeish

On that note i saw the new Plug Freestyler in Evans fulham today - i was disappointed to see it looker rather like a Unipack.

WTF is with the saddle height? Do you have to cut the seat tube down to size?

you simply lube it up and insert it into your arsehole to the correct depth.

why would you need to cut it?

because i am not this man

or this one

heh, when was that seb?

I never really understand integrated seat tubes can some one please explain them for the retarded? 9er thats me by the way...)

Weird tyre choice for track riding too, they look really cheap and nasty

they are lighter than a normal post... and more aero dynamic. in theory

thats my old raleigh winner :)
also some big fucker managed to snap the seat tube on the top half

Does anyone know what the lugs are called on this frame? They look to be fairly ornate with small 3 spear/leaf decoration. Just curious like. Ta.

The conoisseur looks rather nice.

Think it would look better with curved fork legs though.

Also its a bit odd using modern generic brake levers yet still having downtube gear shifting?

the conoisseur it so cool it is retro and classic french colour sweet

It's to do with not losing power through flex of the seatpost under pedalling force. The ISP is made of directionally weaved carbon. See?

I don't think the seatpost/frame on the fuji track is long enough. :o

so on the evans cycles website http://www.evanscycles.com/products/...-bike-ec016010 the Fuji Track bike is titled "Fuji Track 2009 Single Speed Road Bike" but in the blurb later its says its the Fuji Track 2008 bike - which version are they selling?
