Don, you might be interested in a post on the track forum yesterday. I was asking questions about low end bikes, cos I might give it a try, but I have little disposable moolah, so even a Fuji Track SE is going to hurt my wallet....
Anyway, one of the guys there who leads several sessions a week on his local velodrome was saying they have low end KHS and Fuji bikes as their rental bikes, and "Heck until recently the one-lap track record was held by someone on a rental bike."
Evidently it ain't absoLUTELY necessary to have a Don Walker to be fast.
