Track is really exciting, try it.

I thought you hadn't done one yet?

Variety, hills, the sea, crowds of people cheering, etc - I found ,my last tri rather fun.

Oh and I like running so ner.

Me too. But this is a different ball game.

You might as well say running's crap because you like water and waves and stuff.

It's certainly a shitload more fun than triathlon :)

I'd go for an off the shelf complete one (but make sure it's a track bike not a "fixie") as it'll have the shorter cranks etc.

Is the Felt any good? No idea, I know nothing about track bikes. Feels OK to me. However, the main coach at Southampton bought one.

Is riding on the track fun? Awesome fun, give it a go.

Don't get a post-2006 Langster for the track, they're the wrong shape - they're road geometry, all a bit slack and low. I followed a chap on a recentish one a while back, his outside pedal was clearing the boards by a gnat's pube.

Track riding must be a wee bit dull?!

Why so? Because the bikes are simple? Holy logical leap, Batman!

Anyway it's probably fun once you're doing it. I just like hills and stuff.

First generation Langsters were proper track geometry and a decent gear as well (81"), I've got one and it's a top notch bike.
They changed the geometry and gearing after that to appeal more to the fixie fashionista crowd, newer ones really don't handle that well on the bankings.

Need to be a bit careful buying track bikes off the peg, there are some great ones around (like that felt) but some "track" bikes are actually fixie fashionista twatbikes which don't have anything like a racing geometry.

I've done two play sessions and it was the most intensely competitve racing experience I've ever had. You're basically barrelling along really fast eyeball to eyeball with your opponents as the pace builds and the pain starts... I am getting all excited just thinking about it!

Btw it's a SS fixie road bike with different bars and different geometry. so not really a road bike at all :)
