Sorry to hear about our mishaps.

Out of curiousity, o you feel you are ever at a disadvantage for riding a steel classic track bike and not something like a BT? Hve you ever considered throwing down for something a little more competitive.

Also, how do you accept payment off your site for the frames, etc.?

C'est la vie - That's racing.

Wheels make a huge difference on the track, more so than frame materials.

That crash would have destroyed a carbon frame which you could not repair. You can always straighten or replace tubes on a steel frames.

Competitive is all about being smart and strong - and training VERY hard.

However if you'd kindly deposit $10k into my account I'll pick up one of the LOOK frames ;)

safe riding,

Yep, Ewin is strong and was off 175m. We worked the first few together, caught the front markers, then as big Stu came around I put on the gas, and the rider trailing him clipped my front wheel.

Ewin still rode on sunday for the Brunswick champs.
