Hi all,

I'm looking to build a track bike and I'm having trouble finding frames that are either in stock or that I can buy just one. I was told that Dengfu's frame is out of stock without and indication that it will be back in stock when I emailed. Lightcarbon told me that the minimum buy count was 30 for their track frame. I'm planning on racing a mass start events so I don't want a time trial/pursuit type frame. Just an aero frame with horizontal dropouts. Does anyone out there have suggestions? This will be my fourth build of and OEM frame if I can find one. I've had a Hongfu rim brake road frame, a rinasclta rim brake frame to replace the Hongfu after 9 years, and now I'm racing on a Dengfu R13 disc frame that I've posted about here.

Thanks for the help!

If you're open to aluminum frames, Tsunami has some options on AliExpress for pretty cheap.

It might come to that, but my current backup option is a Dolan frame. I'm just always scared of buying from the UK after Brexit. I have to pay a penalty VAT at the postoffice in the EU. I found an Ican frame (https://icancycling.com/products/carbon-track-bike-frameset-tra01?_pos=2&_sid=0051108cb&_ss=r&variant=40012609323086), but I'm worried about the proprietary stem. I think I'll need it to be more adjustable to get the right position.

BXT make this https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DErsZ0P
Apparently it's a popular budget option. I feel like we should be able to find cheaper frames, but I've not come across any.

Thanks. I've not personally ordered a frame from AliExpress. I got a response from Winow and they told me that they have this frame: http://winowsports.com/product/products-10-carbon-track-tr045.html. The cost is $440. It seems like people have had good experiences with Winow here on the forum. Anyone have any specific thoughts about Winow? I'm mostly interested in the quality once it arrives. I can deal with some time lag etc.

I met someone with this frame and they seemed happy with it: https://www.bxtcycle.com/carbon-track-bike-frame_p18.html

Did you see this one? https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4651.0.html

it seems like everyone is selling the same carbon track frame as btx.  shame there isn't another carbon track frame that looks less like a tt bike
