Yeah it’s definitely gonna happen I reckon. Hopefully buying backing a Dolan Pre Cursa that I sold on here last year, it was raw with a painted fork n head tube, loved it, just waiting for the guy to decide whether he wants to part with it for what I sold it for rather than the price that it’s been listed for elsewhere (which is how I saw it was for sale again).
That’ll be the dedicated track bike I reckon, cheap and cheerful, but solid (enough for me anyway)
Yeah definitely ratio is important, also important is just practice and not being scared of pedal strike, which I definitely need to improve on both haha.
Did you ride the CAAD as your track bike?

I did, never really took to it on the road but loved it at HHV. I have zero ability to ride fast for sustained periods but that bike with the carbon wheels flattered me on sprints. Dolan looks great, my self awareness/lack of speed makes me want to strip the CAAD but i think i'd regret it.

Do it, i loved having a dedicated track bike when i was going. Rode there, flipped the wheel and took the brake off, took 2 minutes. Was always fun getting up Fountain drive on the way back without switching back to road gear after the session.
I am absolutely not the person to be giving any riding tips but i did notice that when i went to one of the fixed beers circuit training sessions i had a way higher gear than everyone else and as such was fucking useless on corners.
