Roboto's Track Machine - Dolan DF3

Vitorria Pista CS's are good tubs - raced and trained on them for most of last season.

think I read something from you about them on here somewhere and they seemed to be the best value for rolling resistance and grip on wood and concrete.

I have exactly the same frame - though I think it's a size bigger (yours is a small?). Considering I paid 240 for the F&F and crankset I've been so impressed by how light and stiff the frame is. I've considered upgrading to a carbon frame a few times but concluded that I would have to buy something pretty expensive to significantly improve on the Omnium.

Yeah, I love the frame. Mine is a small I think. I paid about the same, but had a 75 bb in there originally. I changed it to a centaur as my clincher rear wheel is a Goldtec hub and has a funky chainline. I'll be installing the Phil bb soon and just dealing with a chainline issue or swapping my training wheels for something with a 42mm chainline.

I have weighed up the pros and cons of going for a carbon frame, but you're right. For the money, the Omnium is ridiculously light and stiff.

Ran Miche cranks last season, have some 7710's to go on over the winter.
I broke my rear 50mm carbon rim in a crash at track league, so Jimbilly is replacing it with a 88mm rim for me. Going to stick with the 50mm on the front for now as the front end of the Giant is so light that things get a bit dicey when the wind picks up (even with a 50mm). Plus I only have this wheelset, plus a set of 7710's to mavic reflex to choose from so they need to be reasonably versatile.

I'll probably ask Jimbilly to build these wheels up. Not sure I'll be using these wheels outside, but I'll keep the wind factor in mind if I ever race them at HH.
