People had some complaints about the first two, but this one seems really solid for the price. Nice and stiff, carbon seatpost, carbon fork, and relatively lightweight. I am more than satisfied so far.

Right now, I am viewing this as my starter bike. If I like racing a bunch, I plan to upgrade to some aero carbon wheels soon (probably HEDs or Yoeleos) and then possibly get a nicer frameset (probably a Look 875 Madison, Dolan DF4, Fuji Track Elite, or Argon 18 Electron C) next season. Looking forward to getting it the track scene big time though.

I am definitely open to any ideas or recommendations anyone has at this point.

Nothing like a new bike to get the excitement going. Tell us, where is your local track? Check out there program and take there introductory courses or mandatory certification class. Track cycling is a great venue for competition and community. Have fun!
