Of course, everything on the Weis Ti is excellent, from the precision of the welds to the virtually endless finish options, including anodizing, paint, and Cerakote. Communication with the Weis team when building your future Track Ti is also top-notch, which definitely earns them some extra points.

The geometry of the Hammer Track (at least in the size I tried) features a pursuit-style top tube, which, as you know, isn’t my personal preference. Compared to my No.22, the Hammer Ti felt significantly stiffer, almost too stiff in some instances. In the limited riding I did, it truly felt like a track bike designed for aggressive street use, closely resembling what you might expect from a Mash Parallax.

Starting at $3,700, you’ll need to add between $400 and $800 for the finish of your choice. It’s a significant investment, but almost every Weis frame comes with a unique finish, offering extra personalization, and it’s hand made in the US. Occasionally, second-hand ones pop up, but since it’s a titanium bike, don’t count on finding one easily, people tend to hold onto them.
SSS Factor 8/10
Excellent bike for the street and for aggressive riding. If you want a more mellow experience, I’d probably go for a Hammer Track Steel, or a Little Wing Instead.
