New track setup:

Hope the rumble is as loud as the decals

Riding efficiently on the drops in that setup would look similar to attempting autofellatio.

Maybe I need to start Yoga.

It's pretty low down, but I have a long torso so it seems to work alright at the moment. It's for track only so at the moment that seems to mean 12 laps max, any longer than that and I would probably raise the bars a notch or swap them for the compact drops.

Just about built up my FXE, what colour chromoplastics you reckon, black or silver?

Black, and get some bar tape?

Could anyone recommend me some sub £200 wheels, Ive been looking at Planet X :

And the V Sprints:

Are there any other options that I should be looking at?

Also, is there an agreed best length for a bottom bracket, I've read through the thread and seen suggestions for everything from 103mm to 110mm?

Vsprint get my vote.

Unless you go down the route of chinese carbon.

V sprint with quando hubs, but get the dp18 if you care about weight as the pegasus 40mm are pretty hefty.

Race clinchers I'd have thought.

Sorry if I'm coming off as a bit of a moron here, but I'm very much a noob.

dp18?

Race clinchers I'd have thought.

Again, I'm not too sure what you're referring to?

In the V sprint build options one of the rim choices is a DP18, it's lighter.

I'd go for the 'race clinchers' in this link.

Thanks for that, didn't see those.

Excited hand raise 2nd vote on V-Sprint. Got me a Varno built wheel and it still spins truly and endlessly 2 years on!

Hello again Pre Cursa thread, sorry, I feel like I've hijacked this thread and demanded to be flown to stupid questionville, if there's a better place to ask endless dumb questions please feel free to point me in the right direction or just generally tell me to piss off. I'm just after some recommendations:
Chainsets...
Sturmey Archer for £35
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190836008985?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619
or
Token for £50
http://www.velodromeshop.net/index.php?p=product&id=1423

Also, I was all set to get the Vsprint wheels when I came across these cool looking mothers:
http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/wheels-factory-built-wheels-factory-road-tri-campagnolo-scirocco-35-black-clincher-wheels-pair/campwhfr557
would people still recommend the V sprints over these?

On-One chainset and BB £75
http://planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/CSOOTC/on_one_external_bearing_track_crankset

Stronglight chainset £59.99
http://planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/CSSTTR2K/stronglight_track_2000_crankset

Both better options probably.

I would definitely recommend the V-Sprint wheels over those road wheels. Because those are road wheels and therefore will not fit.

Dura Ace + c/ring bolts for just over £80 delivered.

Better option than anything that doesn't cost twice as much.

I'd go with the on one, you'll love external BB.

And what caused this?

rad skidz

Track Champ -> Drack Thamp -> Deack Tramp -> Death Trap

Illuminati what?

I have no idea, hope an impact for the sake of all dolan owners (admittedly except that^^^ one)
popped up on my tumblr feed but dont have any information

Pretty sure that picture is from this very thread. It just fell off i seem to remember, in fairness that is the only time i've ever seen that happen
