All are very nice bikes.
Alan, what Pro-Lite model are those? Tub/clincher? Did you weigh them?

Cheers
They are tubs, nothing else comes close to the ride IMHO. They are called "Rosa", and the weight according to the spec is 812g for the front and 920g for the rear.

And here's the (borrowed) bike I used in the national IP champs last year. Was pretty pleased with 3:38 considering I'd never done an IP before and never ridden an indoor track until 1 hour before the start (do not recommend!)

@ Pokerface - interesting top tube in that frame. Any reason for that, rather than it taking a straight line and angled more downwards?0

I dunno. You'd have to ask the designers at Look! But angled top tubes are common on a lot of bikes. More so road ones than track ones.
The new Look L96 I'm replacing this one with has a straight top tube though.0 -

Time pedals on the track? Are they the RXS? If they're iClics don't you have trouble with the amount of float when sprinting?English Cycles V3 | Cervelo P5 | Cervelo T4 | Trek Domane Koppenberg0

They are RXS carbon ones and so far 5 seasons indoor and out door they have been fine.
If I was an out and out sprinter I would look at straps as well. and or different pedals.0 -
