Hmmm... I'm looking at this on my cell phone, but that looks like a finish-line type photo, which might mean it's a composite. I don't think the wheels look like that. I could be wrong though.

the wheels don't actually look like that. those are the mavic 5 spoke iO track fronts. http://www.bikesomewhere.com/bikesomewhere.cfm/product/190/1217/3329

Yep. Mavic 5-spoke Io front wheels. They aren't allowed in parimutuel keirin racing in Japan, but are ubiquitous in keirins at the worlds and Olympics. This photo is a finish-line photo, which actually is a series of thin slices taken at 1/100th second intervals. The technique of building the photo causes the spokes to seem curved.

That thing is rediculous. I like the Corima Track frame too.
