I’ve never seen an Engine11 or Standert being ridden here in Glasgow velodrome. There’s a few people use Cinelli’s. Vigs mostly, very very occasionally get a Mash/Histogram type.
I don’t know if lack of popularity is a good enough reason to avoid them? Maybe points to there being better ways to spend your money? I think the 3 brands you listed are maybe aluminium frames for carbon money?

I've seen them in YouTube clips of Herne Hill - but also probably mostly in crits... maybe they are a bit more crit specific? Are there any 'typical' bikes you see at Glasgow?
I definitely get the whole alu/carbon price tag thing - I'm just a snob about looks.
Is there a (definitive?!) list of track permissible bikes/frames out there or on here? Would anyone be interested in helping me start one?!

Hi all, I've had the sudden urge to get back on the track - and with that the urge to get a new bike...
I currently have a lovely Sixar Pista 531, bought off the forum many years ago. It's a lush ride and great to see it back on the track - However, I was wondering what the feelings are on modern track frames, such as...
Engine 11
Standert
Cinelli
Not really a fan of Dolan or Planet X - and keen to avoid the BLBs/Aventon etc..
I love the rowdy paint and style but do they fair up in reality? I've never ridden anything other than steel so nothing to really compare them to. Thoughts would be much appreciated!
