The bb probably looks low because of the raised front end. The long fork makes the front of the bike higher which would subsequently make the back end look lower in comparison.
Right? Maybe I'm way off but that makes sense to me.
This is the Medium frame. Tom told me that Taiwan sent the wrong sized frame. Since it's a prototype, they're working out some of the details still on the Mediums. Tom and Ted ride Smalls, which are dialed it better geometry-wise.
I always look at the top chain. Most track bikes have level chains at the top of the ring, showing a standard BB drop. The less "level" the top of the chain is, the more significant of a BB drop.
I think this frame does indeed have a high BB drop / low BB shell relative to the ground.

i just really hope they do something other than orange as well. thankfully it's not burnt orange, however.
