Recently started learning to ride track again, got to admit there's something addictive about only turning left.

    Most of the spec :lol:

    Lovely looking track bike, I keep thinking of getting one for the Manc velodrome.

    Ha ha, yep correct, standard apart from everything. :D

    Gotta admit it rides well on the track, I am thinking of upgrading to the S-Works version for next year if I get into it properly!

    Very nice indeed.

    Wouldn't mind one for commuting/general pootling.

    The standard gearing is 84"+. Pretty thigh straining for a quick getaway from the lights, I can tell you. Definitely not a pootlebike!

    I have one (standard apart from changed track bars to road bars). I even changed my commute route for a longer, less stop/start one!

    Nice bike JesseD. :)

    Apologies, I meant a standard, off-the-peg langster.

    (I'm going to sound like a massive pedant, but 84" is standard off the peg gearing. Sorry JesseD)

    Nope you are 100% right, never said it wasnt I think.

    It is too big for the road where I ride 70" but I think the 84" gear is a tad too small for the track, or so I find.
