chuckle not the best at explaining am i.. ok so 48-52 that's the frint end done what about the rear ? for MTB i've used a 32/16 as a norm but for road i have no idea, and especially as it's a velo track, i think the target is around 20mph + so from 20 up to i guess 30 tops (that's what i can get up to with a gear'd bike) along a flat.
i'm not a huge spinner but average so guessing 70-90 rpm's....
then the next thing is what type of frame to go for, i think i sit around a 56cm frame, options steel /alu / carbon / tit ?
