This is it though, ho isn't buying a track racing bike, he's buying a track frame that will be ridden on the road as well, locked up, take to beers etc.
He's already cracked a Fuji and about 20 canyons, so why not give top end steel a try? At least it could be repaired if he manages to break it.
I'm really not sure how much benefit one of those carbon race frames would have over an oversize aero steel frame, especially being raced on both outdoor and indoor tracks? And the steel would be hella rad.
Where has he said this? I might've missed it. I was under the impression he has his roadie for commuting and stuff now, judging by how soft his legs were at the forum track day...
