I’ve decided this deserves a page all of it’s own as it is, to my mind, the perfect expression of bicycle single-mindedness I’ve so far achieved. Useless for anything but riding fast over short(ish) distances, hills are surprisingly OK though as witnessed by it’s maiden race, the hilly Lizard 30 … :o)
Build list for the geeks goes something like this….
- Frame: 55cm Condor Stadio track
- Fork: Easton EC90 Aero
- Rear Wheel: Royce Ti track hub with HED 90 RIM, bladed spokes
- Front Wheel: Standard HED 90
- Tubs: Vittoria Corsa CX
- Stem: Stella Azzura Espresso
- Bars: Alpina
- Saddle: Selle Italia SLR T1
- BB: Sugino Superlap
- Cranks: Sugino 75 (172.5mm)
- Chainring: Fibre-lyte carbon 55T
- Sprocket: EAI Superstar, 15T
- Chain: DiD track chain

That’s all there is to it. Doesn’t weigh an awful lot, is lovely and stiff and exciting to ride.
