Nor I, so neither of us are Sean Eadie or Ryan Bailey. My experience is limited, but good tracking (doh!) is what's needed in a track bike.

I'd go stiffness over wheelsets firstly, then look at deep fairing carbon wheels 'n all that stuff, because you want a frame which is not going to whip or buck into the turns, especially on steep banked boards.

Then again, I had to retire a front wheel (very low profile Araya rim) because it was an excellent road wheel, but on the track had too much flex and spent more time shifting the bike off line rather than following a line.

Agree with Carpediem... bang for buck it's aluminium.
