i usually spend more of my time in SS/Fixed gear, but the mercier does fine on the track.
im from the SF bay area and have been to Hellyer Velodrome 2x with my kilo tt.
It has over 2600+ miles on it (on stock everything! ouch...hahahah) and is still holding up.
RUN IT TO THE GROUND
I know of another guy down south in the LA area who also takes his mercier to the local oval.
