Thank you :)

I've got a Campag Centaur 10spd Ultra Torque chainset, 170mm carbon cranks, 50/34 rings. The existing rings are ok but worn (no idea how many miles but they weren't slipping). I did buy a new set of TA rings to go on them. The cranks are not scratched or scuffed. The inside of the LH crank does have an adhesive deposit from where I stuck the cadence sensor onto it. Otherwise in excellent condition.

PM me if you're interested.

No idea what a brifter is but I've got a spare pair - carbon ones. They're in very good condition. PM me if you're interested.

Got 10spd Campag carbon (either Centaur or Chorus) 170mm cranks to take 50/34. Think I have brand new chainrings as well as used ones. Any good?

Yes I've got one. I bought it new in 1987 from Rory O Brien in Romford. Strong light headset, BB and matching seatpin.

It's been hanging up in my garage for a while (along with a host of other bikes that I can't bear to get rid of). PM me for details as I really should let it go to someone who'll ride it.

Thanks. Ours is an interclass against the Hainault. I think some riders might race yours at 10 as well. As a youth I used to do this...which is probably why I never won anything!

Hi there - yes Oct 28th at 11am. Lippitts Hill again :) This'll be No 85!

Here's the mistress....

I've loved my Felt TK2 and had a lot of joy racing it these past few seasons since my accident. Here it is helping me to a few points at Lea Valley last winter.

So am I being disloyal looking for an upgrade? I couldn't resist this beauty. Build starts this weekend :)

Nice one - I'm entering :)

Don't know to what extent it's shut...I'm racing the Vets League there this Saturday....

I've entered the Friday Vets :)

:)

A few people use them at Stratford. Some without holding on! Revor at Ciclos Uno sells them (& might arrange a demo if you ask him nicely);

I felt the same but went because I had some mates racing. It was a very good meeting...well organised & I enjoyed the racing which was from my modest level up to National Squad. A good day and I'll go again. Would prefer Herne Hill though...;)

I'm going to the Velodrome. Not anywhere the same as Herne Hill Good Friday Meet but I've got some mates racing so going to cheer them on :)

I've ridden both and punctured both on the track. I stayed up on my clinchers and came down on my tubs...because of how and when the puncture happened.

As it's your first bike I'd recommend clinchers - I've raced on them as well (put lighter tyres & tubes on for racing) and for a track beginner they're just easier to deal with than tubs. And probably less expensive. Hope that helps.

– If I put an old-school Garmin cadence/speed sensor onto my track bike (the one that sits on the rear lower stay), will LVVP VeloPolice cart me away? Not caught me yet! Seriously they're OK

– If I put Vector pedals with pods onto my track bike, will LVVP VeloPolice cart me away? (I like data, don't you be judging me). No idea - best to ask them

– Short sleeved skinsuit, or long? I always wear long but that's my personal preference for both track and crits

– Always warm-up on rollers beforehand, even for a training session? I do but my legs are old and need a long warm up (& turning over between sessions)

– Road aero type bars (I'm no sprinter), say 3T Aeronova Team, blasphemy / acceptable? Yes I use standard road bars

– Why does the Racewear Underseat Garmin mount remind me of those awful ball-bag rear lights (looks shit)? No idea

Not tried these people? Bit closer than China and excellent service/attention to detail; http://www.fibre-lyte.co.uk

Nice one. I'm entered for next Thursday too. See you there :)

No placings for me last night. I must do better against these youngsters...so I've entered next Tuesday night :)

..anyone here riding it? I'm dabbling in the C Group so if you see me then give me a push :)

Got my tickets for next year (my mate queued at the door on Sunday afternoon). It's so popular now...I can remember going over and just buying tickets on the door on the Saturday evening.

Hurry hurry if you want to go next year
