You can own a limited edition piece of history for a surprisingly affordable price.<\/p>\n<p>The Vicious Cycle is built on a 1980s track frame from the World Track Championships. It\u2019s made of Reynolds 653 and Columbus steel, stripped down repainted and coppered, and built from scratch with components from Brooks, Cinelli, Campagnolo and 3T. The tri-spoke carbon wheels were custom made for the Vicious Cycle.
