Track racing bike-build

^^hang on then. Now everyone's got a 464, as well as P-X and a Dolan?

I bet you are so glad you didn't get one.

I couldn't give a shit what other people ride. I'm glad I didn't spend the money unnecessarily though.

@Dov - Why not look at the Seta too? Or is it aluminium only?

Initial reaction is it seems very (very) stiff, probably stiffer than my old dolan track champ, and not that far off my PX, but quite a bit lighter. They are also supposed to be very crash resilient, because there are no joins to fail.

(No I don't get commission from dolan)

It would do your maverick loner status no favours if you were to turn up on a bike that was as common as dog shit, people might think you were becoming a conformist.

I'm immensely gregarious, I'll have you know.

And staunchly conventional.

goes back to secret dream lab

Does gregarious come from "gregorian" ? like the monks. Monks who are famously maverick loners.

But hugely enchanting.

If it's about exclusivity, I've never seen a Koga Kimera at any of the track sessions I've been to, and it's quite the bargain compared with BT, Look 496 etc. at £2900

I'm waiting for the 60 to become 'clearance' :-)

Wouldn't buy it from there even if it did

Wouldn't Bos ride a 60? Surely he's got one or two lying around gathering dust now? PM him. He's on here.

Off the top of my head, at track league there were at least:

10 Dolans
7 PXs (8 if you include Guy but i dont think he rode)
4 Cinellis
4 Ovals
4 Fujis
3 Kogas
2 Cervelo T1s
2 Looks

• a load of one off's
  
  

hope this is good guide to how 'common' yer bikes are!

oh! insider knowledge... what gives? i would have thought you'd say the opposite...

good market penetration by the Dolan Sisters there.

^^He gets flamed a bit for spamming fixedgearfever. I know this much is true.

I just wouldn't use them. Some people have got stuff quickly with no probs, others have been lied to and had to jump through hoops just to be fobbed off.

Whats the name of that Austrailian company that custom machines chainrings? Has a really basic website.

http://www.cycleunderground.com.au/chainringdesigns.htm

Thanks.

That is indeed a very basic website.
I hope they put more effort into their merchandise than they do their CSS

:)

Anyone one here successfully ordered a chainring from them yet?
I wrote them a mail with a couple of questions and got a quick and very kind reply. Then I made an enquiry for a few rings and never got a response. Wrote them another mail on the weekend, still no response.

My build so far is
a Dolan Pre Cursa frame, with alu fork
Deda Pista stem & bars
I have Miche Primato chainset
(front brake for getting to HH & home in one piece)
Varno is building is going to build me a set of wheels on the quando hubs.

I am planning to upgrade the alu fork to a carbon Alpina.
I will go with Shim SPD SL pedals & a Fizik Arione

That leaves chain & tyres, off to the UTFS.
I will post some pics later
