    Smashing! Gives me a lot better idea of what to be looking for. Thanks for the help, will no doubt see you at the velodrome at some point! Cheers.

    Thanks for that! Just happened upon this forum after a bit of googling, shall have a look at the Glasgow forum too. Yeah, was on the 58cm for accred 4 and it felt good. If I am doing any degree of racing it'll certainly be sprint based, it's all I've got as a "talent"! I'll be down on Wednesday night to embarrass myself at track league again but will just be hiring until I get something for myself. Thanks again for all the info and effort you've put in, it's much appreciated.

    One other thing, does anyone have any trouble breathing in the velodrome? If I go all out I develop a cough ns can hardly speak, just hoping I will acclimatise as I don't know how'd I'd manage an entire multirace session at the moment. So we'd maybe be thinking 40/42 bars, 100mm stem and 165 cranks? Thanks in advance!

    Hi everyone, got a couple of questions and you seem to be the best people to ask! Just recently got accredited at Glasgow and I'm looking to buy my own Pre Cursa as I plan to go quite often. Just need a little help regarding what to order when building it from the website. I was given a 58cm which is up from my 56cm road bikes I normally ride. Mechanic recommended this size and I'd say he got it spot on as it felt fine.

    Was just going to ask if anybody knew what size handlebars are on the hire ones or crank length? I normally ride 42cm handlebars I think but as I said the hire bike just felt sorted for me so just wondering if anyone knew the size of the stock parts so I can get the correct size from Dolan.

    Many thanks in advance.
