Also I started racing this year, I was intending to do it last year but I had a back injury which stopped me from training. So far have managed to get points and place in the top 3 in the two rounds I've raced in. Handlebars have been changed to Nitto B123, which are a super deep traditional track drop.
However after looking at this photo of myself, I think the frame is too small for me. The bars are too low and too close, I do feel cramped when sprinting and my arms are locked out which is not good. Track riding aero has come a really long way and what people are running are super narrow handlebars and long reach which helps you stretch out and stay low.
So I decided to look at getting a new frame, in particular one that is one size up, say about 54cm top tube as the Graham Weigh is absolutely tiny, 51.5cm or so. Also it will have to be a modernish frame set with a threadless headset which allows the most choice with handlebars.
So I picked this up... only ridden at an indoor velodrome. It's not drilled for brakes so is a pure track frame.
Oh and picked up some new handlebars... these are 31cm wide
