New proper track bike

Since new year's I've started to invest my time/money/passion into track racing. My current frame is a steel one and it satisfies my need but I for long lusted after a proper modern track bike so here's my effort.

Most of the parts and frameset arrived today so I've just unboxed everything and mocked what should be my dream track bike :)

It's missing the conti gp4000s tire, fizik microtex tape, campagnolo pista crank, fizik kurve saddle, kmc devil 101 chain and shimano 105 pedals.

Nice, it looks good so far, i like those t1s a lot, one day i will have one for sure.

Nice one! Will it be raced at Herne Hill?

or skidded round hoxton square ?

great frame, but it deserves deep wheels

@bart I'm not in the UK

@eingang these will be my training wheels since I need to get to the track by bike too so a clincher is best for me. I have a tubular 80mm crabon set for race day

congrats to that bike, enjoy it cause its more than just a nice ride. maybe switch to track drops, but that only a suggestion.

Almost done, need to adjust the fit (bars, saddle) and put the chain. Sorry for the iCrappy pics btw

nice mate- but set it ujp with a quality chain-sedis or renold are killer.

desticker the rims and it will be perfect

Got around to take some pics at my training session today :)

Love it!

'proper track' lol you need to say that on here
do the job aye,
looks like a nice place to race,

vids please its dingy over here now, getting track time is a weather lottery

it is a proper bike for someone that was riding a chromoly leader with relaxed geometry :P

It's in Caieiras, Brazil. I mainly post here because my sister lives in London and I get to visit her every other month so I'm quite attached to this place.

I'll try to get a vid done when there's a race here otherwise it's only me and other 2 friends riding, this velodrome is basically my private track, only a handfull of people go there to train wich is sad. The cool thing is that I get to go there throughout the year since the weather here is very stable but sometimes it gets very HOT.

Love it!

Thanks nuts, not only it is a great looking frame but it's a dream to ride!

Fuck it.I'm moving to Brazil for 4 months.

Hey you are more then welcome, the more people using this track the better, it gets boring seeing/training/racing with the same 4...8 faces all the time.

god if only....
here we are this year ,sunny days are only 4 months away

Wow... only 4 - 8 faces! Olympics here made the track at Herne Hill super popular with newcomers.

I would recommend you start a bike jumble there. Srsly.

yeah and this is because we are actually trying to encourage the fixed crowd to start going to the velodrome and see what is about.

I would love to move next to a velodrome like Herne Hill where there's people that actually put time and effort into the sport.

is there a track cycling league? is there a cycling governing body?
are there any coaches? clubs? who built the track and what were there objectives? these things are all embedded in the U.K scene

Good to know.
My flatmate is from São Paulo, he's going back soon and has invited me to come and spend some time.
Sounds (even more) appealing.

Is the velodrome even open?
Jut read some news (late 2011) about the "perfeitura" of Caieiras shutting the place down... ?
