And inspired by @Glws road going track bike i tried (and mostly disliked) joining the crosstop dork club. I haven't ridden it far enough or enough times to give it a fair appraisal but its fair to say i hate road bike pedals on fixed and a crosstop brake doesn't spark confidence or joy. I have watched quite a few 20 minute cartoons on the turbo on it (hence the large stack) but i suspect this will get pulled to bits shortly.
The Rotor is basic Canyon road spec when they ran out of Tiagra or 105, surprised I don't see more of them around. NW direct mount ring cost me about £40 and turns them into a nice light (ish) fixed crankset with 24mm sealed BB. 43.5 not 42 chainline but 3/32 so hardly an issue with a track chain.
