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?!

Dolans. DF4s are exceptionally popular and not just with sprinters.

Cervelos are quite popular too, obviously coming with a price tag but the pursuiters seem to like them, probably because of how aero they are.
