I have a Hoy Fiorenzuola, it's my first track bike so I have nothing to compare to other than the Fuji rental bikes at HHV to which there is no real comparison...
I'm 87kgs, and the bike hasn't broken underneath me yet...
Since getting it, I've put better tyres on it, changed the stem for the cheapest 130mm one I could find, changed bars to a pair I had knocking around that are more comfortable, and changed saddle to one I find more comfortable, apart from that it's stock. It's taken me to consistent top 5 placings in A category races, and I doubt the limiting factor in winning them is the bike.
Bearing in mind I got mine second hand but barely used for £300....
