There was a media event for the Hoy track bikes at Revolution yesterday, got to see the bikes up close and speak to some of the Hoy crew.
Seems like Chris had quite a lot of input with the bikes though when I pointed out (to the guy in the picture with Hoy on page 1, who was struggling to put Hoy's own Hoy together properly) that the dual compound tyres fitted as standard (Chris's was upgraded to Conti Supersonics) would be turned away from most velodromes he was a bit taken aback.
I'm not really too up on what £750 gets you in an OTP track bike but with the Hoy bikes it does seem like you're getting something quite nice - the Omnomnoms, the finishing kit like stem and seatpost is un or self branded but seemed like pretty nice stuff - as opposed to a mediocre bike with an expensive sticker on the downtube (ie Boardman).
