.....and is it just me or did you spend a lot of money on carbon on a beater?

NOW I HAVE. This beauty just arrived, 120g of carbon goodness.

It all makes perfect sense now.

Nice saddle nonetheless. Most have cost you the better part of a monkey.

Haha, love it.

I'm not sure I'm with you, what makes sense?

It does make sense. You need light parts to compensate for the geometry.

that saddle is like £30, not exactly expencive

What's wrong with the geo? It sure rides OK to me.

think he's talking about the large clearance in the rear triangle. A longer wheelbase means the handling is less responsive, and lighter parts make it quicker to turn. So they cancel each other out.

Ahh I see, thanks.

It feels fine to me so that's all I care about.

But it's not that long....is it?

it's not massively long, it's just got a larger rear than normal for a track bike. It could partly be due to the small size of the frame though.

Been riding my brothers to make sure its all solid and its a 54cm, usualy ride a 58 so the wheelbase is probably shorter than my usual ride(s), so i cant really judge on how that feels, its pretty nippy.

Its very stiff and i find that perfect for sprinting the 10 mile cycle path and back for a quick workout. I'll be building a raw aluminium frame version up as soon as i get a fork, to be used as a winter/ all weather bike that is still fast. Grit really hit my steel frames hard this year ever with after ride washes.

It doesn't mean anything during a daily commute.
It's just hard to call that frame a track frame.

Funny, a stripped SLR will weigh at about <120g, and you can get get one for 20 quid.

Horses for courses, £10 isn't exactly going to break the bank. And I just had a look, can't see any on here or ebay for £20...

What 10 pounds?...^he didn't pay only 30 quid for that.
100gn at least.

I mean there has to be something wrong with it!

A flite team edition costs you near 100

this has to snap or be terrible in some way

other wise everyone would be pricing sella italia out the market

It has 12 months manufacturers warranty.

I can't believe this is being discussed in 2 threads.
I miss mergatron.
