I've seen that pic before, but thanks to your helpful comments in concert with that pic I finally know how to set up my sloping top tube pursuit bike. THX! I will be switching in between a road stem with road bars, and a deep drop track stem with flop and chops with not too much cut off.

Would they let you use those mass start on the track? Thats my only issue really...
