Retrospec Bicycles Drome Fixed-Gear Track Bike with Carbon Fork, Brushed Alloy, 55 cm/Medium
If there is one thing we’re sure of, it’s that competition never goes out of style. The second iteration of Retrospec’s classic Drome track bike is new and improved, and it’s ready to fast track your progress to victory. With a 6061 aluminum frame that is double-butted and tig-welded, your ride will never be left wanting. It’s a lightweight bike made even lighter with the V2’s addition of a carbon fork, and race-oriented geometry to get you going as fast as possible. Also new to the Drome is a radial front wheel spoke design. Equipped with Pista race drop bars, now with super grippy handlebar tape for more aerodynamic riding. The smooth welded frame, integrated headset, and sealed bearing hubs prepare you for a non-stop ride of your life. Our Drome has a flip-flop hub, so you can ride fixed or single-speed with a freewheel. Not only do you have the power to choose how you ride, you also get a bike that has fewer moving parts to get dirty and wrecked. This build is more stable, easier to install, and has better bearings. And unlike your average track bike, the Drome V2 now comes with front AND rear brakes because we want you to stay safe on and off the track.

I love Retrospec and this is a great bike(five stars) but I was really disappointed because I received the wrong color, hence the 2 star review. I ordered white and got silver instead. There were also some very noticeable scratches from the wheel moving around in the box and rubbing against the frame/crankset during shipping. The bike came with an assortment of cheaply made reflectors & plastic pieces that don’t really fit on the frame â some I wasn’t entirely sure what they were for. I was…
