Man this thread has taken off to a new level, I think the last time a thread a got this much excitement/banter was from @ChainBreaker dolan thread a few years back.
Much thanks to @Tijs for your photoshop skills which kept everyone entertained btw.
Right to get back on track on the build, the Miche chainring is definitely not the way forward and I might need to look around for someone black or carbon. For now @umop3pisdn idea of fibre lyte seems like a good shout, but i'm not too sure about their finish and it might not match the carbon cranks on the look. Ideally I would like a zen s3 track chainring, but cannot justify it yet...
Regarding the wheelset @edscoble made a good point of having two wheelset to race and tarck on. @Tijs can you do a photoshop of the pro track and the mavic io rio wheelset as a comparison for the race wheelset I will get later around next year.
For the tarck wheelset I'm still thinking of the Chinese crabon as I think it doesn't look too bad on the look. (23mm wide & u-shaped) tbh I don't think it looks too bad...
But I am leaning on the idea of having a shallow wheelset too (for those windy and long distance races)
