Well it took long enough, but I finally got my carbon track bike. Pics to follow. Or check my sig.
Ironically, it's the same bike from post #7. Funny how this stuff works, huh?
I've learned, and ridden so much since then, I feel like a different person is posting.

I still have great lust in my heart for the Anchor PCM9, but I just can't justify it yet.

HI regarding BT and ANchor, I havent riden any of them but i had gotten the pleasure to have them in my hands... nice machines but as many people might think, those 2 frames are quite heavy compared with a regular top of the line track bike or an aluminum one. Why? no clue... probably the scheleton of both is AL? probably inside has steel? Well that coudl explain why no damage in quite big accidents... no idea probably somebody knows the secret... The bikes should be super stables and stiff and with a lot of iniertia obviously...
U guys forgot to mention Colnago... Tange has a cool track carbon frame also... Ridley had one also (not anymore)... hmm... BMC has a bad ass track bike also.
Cheers...
ps: regarding LOOK... they are ok but as somebody said, they brake easily, and if u dont have an accident the frame will brake anyways, luckly carbon is easy to fix after all. The main problem with look is that the warranty sucks. Track frames looks like are out of any warranty so far my experience with a couple of federations, who bought look and somehow the frames got cracks. Solution? fix the **** ourselves because LOOK didnt want to do anything about it... 6 grands to the trash? no way hehehe

downtube shifter
Isn't the Dolan Arc and Teschner the same frame and fork. One mat finish, one high gloss finish?

I rode past Bill Ron's shop, 807 Torrance Blvd, Redondo Beach,CA (1 block west of Prospect Ave., small shop in a small strip shopping center) https://www.billronbikes.com/, and he has a blue one hanging in the window.
