Looking to get my new track frame built up and make use of the last days before it's too cold and rainy. (Looking for track use only, not going to be skidding this one on the roads.)
It would be great if someone had a whole set that I could buy at once, but otherwise just the crank/chainset is okay. Going on what I believe is a 68mm bb size. If it's without a bb it would help to know what spindle length you were using, so I can find a square taper bb without too much research/trial and error.
Prefer 165's, and a not uncommon bcd. If possible be good to come with a 48/49 chainring too.
Thanks!

It's recommended when it's not safe to overtake, you cycle in the middle of the lane to avoid dangerous overtaking. This evening coming back I narrowly missed getting totalled by a van's door swinging wide*. Recommended default position is a minimum the width of a car door, or 1/3 into the lane. That's what I go by.
Definitely agree to keep an assertive road position. Keep somewhere that means you're out of the danger zone of both a boris bike and addison lee.
Eye contact with any driver that comes close. Cars at lights, junctions, etc. Clear hand signals and caution.
(*van doors are just that bit wider, and even less visible in the dark)

I did that 'novice' session last Saturday. No way are you/those guys novice! Afterwards I heard a few people talking that they had been accredited but didn't like the next level up so were staying in the novice group.
Definitely punishing novices like me, keeping the learning/fitness curve steep. Fingers crossed for tomorrow's weather.
