I am wanting to build/buy a very nice track bike for all-round track racing. Need to start with a top frame and then intend adding Campag Record pista chainset and Pista or Mavic Elipse wheels. So the frame, my size based on my TT and road bikes is effective horizontal top tube of 54-55cm. Have been looking at carbon frames and ideally would like to find a great one second hand - would prefer not to go the Planet-X route. Other option is to go new alu - like the images of Look 464 I have seen...some guys at the Reading track use the Koga Pro Track which looks good. Another friend has a Isaac Velocity which he uses to good effect... thoughts? Got the right frame for me?
