Raced this weekend @ Northbrook , IL on the velodrome. Charlie Ollinger was there with the Vendetta. He did very well in the sprints and the lap race. Only racers that were faster were on extreme low racer bikes...no draft! Charlie was never lapped. Charlie was nice enough to let me try the Vendetta. Much higher B.B. , lower seat/laid back , and lighter than my Silvio 1.0.. Very nice. Gary.

What was that track surface
What was that track surface like? From the photos I saw it looked very smooth.
Did you race your Silvio? I didn't see one in any of the photos I've seen.

I'm going to try real hard to get to some of the HPV stuff next year, especially the velodrome events as I've never ridden in a velodrome and it looks like a blast.
You're welcome to try my V if you'll fit but if you fit on Charlie's I suspect mine would squish you, I'm pretty short.

Lief,
If you get there early
Lief,
If you get there early enough and nobody is on the track they don't mind other bikes on it. There is a lot of racing this time of year though so it is pretty busy - more than you would think.
