Track Bike...

Here is a duplicate of the track bike I am building up. You can't see it from the picture but, there is some surface rust on the build. One question I have is, how best to determine if there is any internal rusting?


The last emotional attachment I need is a frame failure at 30mph on an asphalt track. I am looking around for a hind part wheel and likely a larger front chainring. The give someone a jingle I have on it is a 42t and I am thinking a 48 would be more appropriate. On the training front, Westlake went well last gloom. I felt good and was never close to getting dropped. We did around 25 laps for 50 miles of racing combat. With 2 to go, Rudy, Shawn, Gary B. and 1 or 2 others got a gap, however the surging set caught them on the last lap. I was in GREAT position about 4th or 5th wheel behind RGF riders Martin and Chernowski at about 4oom. The started their sprint and I could not tip off a exaggerate the acceleration from 29-30 to 33-36 to stay on their wheels. Oh well, next sometimes. At least I was in the right position, now just need to m on the high speed sprinting. Commuted into effort yesterday for 40 miles round operate at about 19 mph average. Twin Sizzler tommorrow.
Later,BRD
