Getting Started

Picked up my first track bike yesterday. Planning to race quite a bit this year at the local Velodrome, which appears to be a good one. The bike is a 2019 Throne Track Lord (I guess I can't post a pic until I have had 10 posts). This is basically the third iteration of this bike. 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 into the track scene big time though.

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