If the bike manufacturers can make a buck out it advertising then Yes! the Penny Farthings will be on the Tracks as well as the other Crazy bikes!

Probably not because I'm just going to put you in my ignore list after I post this reply

I'm still no clearer what the WAVE means ...

Oh dear, it was such a beautiful relationship. How tragic that it might be scuppered by miscommunications ...

Why Carbon Fiber Bikes Are Failing ?

Laurent Didier’s £8k carbon fibre Trek bike snapped in half...

I saw a carbon fibre Bianchi in Cycling Plus a couple of years ago with a price tag of £11,000.
I was talking to an LBS a while back and he knows of a manny who repairs carbon fibre frames, typically about four hundred a year.
Makes you wonder .

Not necessarily, if the damage is in races. Same would happen to another material in a high speed crash presumably

Unlikely to be races in Norfolk, probably just roadies not paying attention to the conditions - !

There aren't many people who specialise in frame repair. He likely gets frames from all over.

There's no bike clubs or racing in Norfolk at all? 🤷‍♀️

Nope, just overweight cyclists who crack their carbon frame bikes and blame the softness of the materials.

Maybe he tried running over that shoe.

I had my lovely 653 steel frame corrode where it had been chromed. And it was my summer bike. Don't get that with carbon.

I'm looking for a starter bike. Will that track bike be good for me?

 

[cougie uk]

Wait for the Hope track bike's road version to be ready. It's cheaper and more medal winning too.

Is the OP @SkipdiverJohn's lycra wearing alter ego?
