BTW, my coach Jeff Labauve has a Tiemeyer and used to hold the world record in the flying 200m (~10sec flat).
The Tiemeyer is stiffer. Much stiffer. 5 out of 5. I would put it on par with any sprint bike on the market (BT, Dolan, Corima, etc...).
During the planning stage, I told Mr. Tiemeyer how much I weigh and the kind of wattage that I was putting out and he made some changes to my frame that he doesn't do by default. The top tube is wider where it meets the head tube then it tapers to normal size. Plus he he used tubing that is thicker than normal. I can't flex the rear triangle no matter how much I try.

However it'll give me time to save up for next summer. Thanks again I'll know who to contact if I ever have velodrome questions, your the man Carleton.
Thanks! But TejanoTrackie has many, many more years on the track than I do. He's forgotten more things about track racing than I'll ever know.
