Thanks guys, they are going to refund me for it and they sent me a postage paid label so all is OK in the end despite the drama in the meantime.
For the record I had ordered and recieved 5Bling gloves from them with no issue and a great price several years ago.
Cheers

They will not admit that they have sold me a lemon that will not even fit on standard track hub threads and continue to demand that it is correct. I can not believe this and had asked for a full refund but they are holding firm.

Indeed Scilly.Suffolk remember that for anyone who does need a 12t 1/8 remember the following piece of advice I was given:
"It is not possible to make a 12T sprocket as thick as the other sizes so it appears a lot smaller than traditional 1/8th sprocket which confuses some customers into thinking it is 3/32."
Priceless info gem.

I have asked for a refund as the product was not as described, I have not heard from them yet but it is early days.
In fairness I had used them several years ago and they were spot on.

Thanks very much M_V and Scilly for the replies. I will contact them now and look forward to their response.

This is a question and not a dig at Velodrome Shop, not just yet without an answer anyway.
Well just recently I ordered a 1/8 12t cog from velodrome shop which was received promptly last week. Upon opening the parcel I inspected the cog and it was apparent that the teeth were very narrow for a 1/8 cog. So narrow that I compared it to my other 12t cog which is a 3/32 and would you believe it the 1/8 from Velodrome Shop is identical to the 3/32 cog which I already had...
An email was fired back off to them from me informing them that I was incorrectly sent a 3/32 and I have received the reply from Velodrome Shop. They bluntly told me that it is indeed a 1/8 cog as I quote from their reply.
"It is not possible to make a 12T sprocket as thick as the other sizes so it appears a lot smaller than traditional 1/8th sprocket"
Now this seems strange to me but I have never had a 1/8 12t cog before and could not find out online if 12t cogs can come in a thicker 1/18 size.
Top marks for Velodrome Shop if they are correct but I really need to know if somebody could tell me - amibeingbull$hitted by them or not?

Well dan at least they are not stuffed with that old recycled paper!
I have a DF3 and used to ride the PX Pro Track but could not get on with it as the front-centre measurement was too short for me having quite a forward body position. I prefer a more relaxed head angle and a steeper seat angle with a long TT for my height.
I actually really liked the frame and my guilty confession is that it looked pretty nice to my eyes... anyway. I never noticed the lack of stiffness that some can feel, I always notice flex in the handlebars/stem much more than the BB. Handlebar flex always annoys me and I have rode for years with the very stiffest combo I could find which I can pull on hard without trepidation.
In the end I did not feel the need to dislike the PX Pro Track and it was just the geometry that was the killer for me and the current owner of my old PX is very happy!

Does anyone know where I can find the geometry chart for the PX T.O.R. frame? PX no longer shows it and even on the PX USA site there is no geometry chart.
Dolan DF3 frame/frameset
I'm looking for a Dolan DF3 frame in the largest size of 59cm with the latest type of dropouts with the chain tensioners seen in the attached image. I am not so bothered about a few cosmetic scratches or blemishes as long as the frame is structurally sound.
If anyone has one that they may consider selling then please send me a message.
Many thanks!
