According to the Razorimages.com crew, this is a 3D rough image of the Lucky13 fixed gear track bike that they designed. However, its futuristic body lines won’t see manufacturing until the design is backed by investors. Let’s hope these skillful designers find the money they’re looking for to get the ball rolling.

Alloy frame with 2 diameter fork (1″1/8-1.5″) to rigidify the front end.

The Fuji Track Pro will be totally revamped for 2009. It features a color pattern of Black and Fuji Red with White Fuji logos and graphics on a Fuji’s specific frame made of alloy, which is much wider then last years Fuji Track Pro. The relatively high seat post, when compared to most track bikes is one of the most commented design features about the new Fuji Track Pro. From what we’ve heard, the seat post is like black liquorish, you either hate it or you love it. However, no matter if you appeal Fuji’s new design or embrace it, there’s no debate about its ingenuity. MSRP $1,700.00

Introducing the new addition to Bianchi Pista in 2009. Because most conventional cyclist object to riding a fixed gear for the absence of a break to stop with, Bianch has added another Pista to their 2009 line up. The new Bianchi Pista 2009 line up will include the look and feel of a fixed gear bike but with breaking amenities. Not only will the Pista include front and rear breaks for the first time since its existence, but it will also have a straightbar rather than bullhorn handlebars. Bianchi will offer their conventional cyclist friendly track bike in two of their past color schemes, blue and chrome, and at a slightly higher price than Bianchi’s standard Pista.

To my surprise the Japanese know a different Bianchi Pista then other parts of the world and in many of there fan’s opinions Bianchi has beefed it up for Japan when compared to the states. Not only does the Japanese color scheme appeal more to the eyes of an urban fixed gear rider so does the enhanced frame and forks. That’s right… And for around the same retail price ($500 – $600 USD), too. I can just imagine how stunning this bike would look like in other similar colors.
