Regarding it being aluminum, the Bianchi Pista Concept is aluminum with a carbon fork, the Cannondale track is aluminum with a carbon fork, etc. etc. A friend rides a Spicer that is aluminum with a carbon fork and he seems to like it. Not exactly classic but aluminum seems to be the more popular material now-a-days..

Kev, I am glad to see those pictures. I was wondering if anyone had actually picked one of these up..
