That's right, KS State Track Championships will be the end of July and there is no time to waist.
Many of you are well prepared but for those of you wanting to race and don't have your bike ready, there are a few things to consider.
1. You must ride a bike fixed, with drop bars, and no brakes.
2. You probably want at least 25c tires, if not 28-34c tires depending on conditions.
If you don't have a bike yet, here are a few options.
1. Rent one from us for the event. We don't have details yet, but we plan on getting a bunch of bikes out specifically for this event.
2. Find an old frame with horizontal drops and build it up.
3. Build a complete bike, definitely can be done for less than $600, or up to $2k if you want.
