am interested in getting one of these. ordered a 55cm, before realising that the geometry was too big for me, so had to return it.

is this still available? any idea of the shipping to the UK? would VAT or import be charged is does that not happen because it's still europe?

Just to be sure, then, am I right that it is playing with fire to commute to and from the track with tubular?

Thanks. V-Sprint look like they hit my price point perfectly. Something like the following (£179).

Hi,
I hope this isn't off topic. I am looking to get into track cycling; at first, I will just train, but down the road I can imagine myself racing since I enjoy competition.
I am building up a bike, and have a question about getting to the velodrome. I live in Barnet, so will sometimes go to Herne Hill and sometimes to Gosling Sports Park in Welwyn Garden City (closer). Either way, I don't have a car and will need to get there by train. I don't plan to ride my bike much outdoors at all, but being able to ride for 10 minutes to and from the station will save me oodles of time otherwise spent just walking my bike.
I am wondering what would be a good wheelset and tire setup enabling me to ride short distances off the track without getting a puncture, but then work nicely on the track. I guess this favors clinchers over tubulars, but other than that I have no idea.
Any help appreciated. My budget? Not a lot: my frame is an All City Thunderdome (£345) and I have been looking at Miche Pistards (£150 from Wiggle), Planet X Model A (£129, tubular alloy), that sort of thing.
Thanks,
Edward
i got a 55cm before realising that the geometry was too big for me based on all city's sizing. so i had to return it and am now looking for a 52cm if i can find it.
