Haha - didn't you read this though "The wheels are mechanically stabilised to settle the components in position." That makes up for the weight! They're not so different from e.g. Mavic Ellipse which are 955/1040 F/R but agree they aren't light. Mind you, they are pretty cheap.

2 sets of these you still don't have a pair of ellipse...

but mavic uses their stupid french chainline which puts you 2mm out from the standard bb+cranks length

What about the "Terry Dolan bike with full Miche kit and either tubular or clincher wheels £495"

A reasonable bike for the £££s or should I look at the Pearson Touche instead? Have been hoping to build my own build after 2 weeks still not found a suitable frame so am being forced to look again at ready built....

2 weeks? chill winston! They turn up, you just gotta be patient

I am

Seb_pf ...what size frame u need????

i was catching up with da boss man at planet x last week and he said they have full carbon track bikes arriving in February 08, prices for a complete bike are about £800. not bad eh? Showed me a pic of it and it looks cool. said it would be on the site soon to drool over!!!

broken_77 Seb_pf ...what size frame u need????

56/58 - you know of anything going?

seb_pf - I love my touche. As Tony the Tiger said - they're Grrrrreat.

You can load up with racks / guards etc if you want, or leave clean & nekkid.

cheers for the vote of confidence in the touche - I'm quite tempted. How does your's size up? I'm 35inch/89cm inside leg
