Also, paired spoke technology has been pretty well dismissed for any meaningful aerodynamic benefit. Both of these reasons are why Trek will no longer be selling wheels like this.

Just because the T1 doesn't use the classic (some say outdated) 76°/76° sprint geometry of the Pista Concept, that doesn't mean it's a not a track bike. I don't own one, but I know more than a handful of riders who are racing them for the U23 team in Belgium at this moment, along with countless others who use theirs at velodromes in the US and around the world. Whether or not you find your T1 more "forgiving" than your Concept is irrelevant, it's a 100% legit track bike.
