Ooh hello, that's mine that is. This is a little bit like spotting your girlfriend in a jazz mag...
I had it custom made in 1994 but was never particularly happy with it at the time as I fecked up some of the dimensions in the order - the seat tube angle is way too relaxed for my liking, although nothing an in-line seat post won't sort out. It's been sitting in the cellar at my dad's house for the last 16 years and only got let out a month ago when I decided to take up track racing again.
I was going to sell it and buy a new Canyon v-drome, but having ridden a few sessions at the track over the last few weeks I've kind of fallen back in love with it. I think I'll save the money I was going to spend on a new bike and just buy some decent wheels.
It still needs a little bit of work to make it properly sexy imho, but I'm working on it.
