Airborne Sortie 2003 Track Bike

DESCRIPTION

The Airborne Sortie was designed specifically to take on the demands of track racing, race after race, it will continue to impress with its stiffness and speed. Manufactured using the new X-1 design platform that incorporates aerospace grade, cold worked, and oversized 3Al/2.5V titanium tubing in a new aerodynamic profile. The Sortie incorporates a concave wheel cutout that allows the rear wheel to be adjusted directly beneath the seat tube. Airborne's proprietary 3-Axis dropouts provide a lighter weight, lower profile solution that is significantly stronger than traditional dropouts. Together these feature provide a powerful arsenal for your next flight.

Strength:

Aero design, long top tube, super stiff, looks great, will last forever

Weakness:

Tall head tube

I was a tad skeptical about a Ti track bike, but after riding the Sortie for a few laps I fell in love. Ti feels just as lively on the track as it does on the road. Very nice handeling bike. Seems to be very light overall. Overall Looks: ti w/ decals-just enough color to set it off Welds:beautiful kind of art/ndustrial Geometry: stable track bike suited for all events Stiffness: Very stiff due to deminional tubing and compact design. AERO: Very aero overall with aero tubing and rear wheel tucked in behind seattube cut-out. Overall: buy this bike is you want a track bike that will never be outclassed. Exellent inexpensive timed events bike.
