New Fuji Track Pro

Looks interesting. After releasing the exact same frame every year, albeit with a different paint-job each time, it looks like the next iteration of the Track Pro has a redesigned frame. Check out that seatpost. That's serious business right there. Thanks to ChrisP for the heads-up.

Needs more branding.

Nice! Looks better than last years with the paint scheme/branding, shame they are still going with the FSA cranks as standard though. Its going to look hot with a disc or two deep wheels.

Fuji just took their mid-level track bike and removed it from the second-hand market! not sure if i agree with a bike at that price point having a cut-to-size seatmast.

whats up with those bars, too? someone at the agency is a bit hasty with the setup

That's exactly what I was thinking, Chris. If you buy a new Track Pro, you better be sure it's a bike you want to ride for a while, because those things are going to be tricky to offload second-hand.

Looks like it's got good grocery-getting geometry.

I'll say I love Track Pros. They're light, stiff and reasonably priced. Say what you will about the Fuji brand but when you need a frame to race and can't afford anything fancy, it works out well for your buck. It did anyway, now they're catching on to this $800+ a frame craze.

I had a little incident with my 05 one and, even though the frame is no longer usable, the fork seems fine and the damage received was minimal compared to the beating.

The adjustments I noticed Fuji make over the years were minor, mostly paintjobs and the track ends were slowly but surely improved.

Looks like they're nabbing something from Jamis with that seat tube and Blue with those dropouts. How much is this new one?

Great and stiff bike.

BMC? Can we steal your paintjob too? One thing I do hate about the Track Pro is they have consistently given Road Drops with them. Unless you're one of them there Madison types, I think that sucks.
