I ride fixed on 177.5mm Campagnolo track cranks, for my extra long femurs, anyone want to come on one of my 2-3-4 hour road training rides around Richmond Park? Those slick looking Velocity V's of yours are just a dead weight up hills, but they look really coooooool, cruising for chicks at 5mph :)
Perhaps you're worried you'll get your white/yellow tyres dirty?

Easy solution - just take the pedals off ... end of problem ;)

I'm riding 177.5mm cranks (fixed) on a frame with 260mm BB height. It's all to do with the technique in the corners, knowing what the crank positions are when you cut through the apex of the corner.

The bottom bracket is too low on the Langster for proper track racing. Perhaps have a look at the Pearson Cycles website, they have some sweet looking track/road frames and fixed bikes for reasonable prices.

It seems an unusually large sum of money has been spent on this bike, built with the exquisite 953 tubing, that won't be raced or hammered, just toodling around some country lanes at horses pace?!

Are you allowed to post your own stuff on here ... 'cus I've just listed some luberly track cranks on eBay :o)

This does need a bit of stealthly fine tuning however this game does work especially well on corners.
When you see peds stepping out onto the road without seeing you, just clip them slightly on their shoulder as you ride by. Timing and speed has to be of military precision, too much of a shoulder brush and you will bounce off them, making for a spectacular "self-induced" wipe-out!
The joy of hearing their scream of surprise when you've just skimmed them and they didn't even see you coming! Even better if they need a chance of underwear afterwards!
