Track bike in your garage?

Having been involved in track cycling for a good few years now and witness many come and go to Sundrive, I'm convinced that there are large number of people with track bikes/frames rusting away in their sheds or attics? Anyone here guilty?

Mine is out the back, part rusting, part being eaten by dog.

Shame, could it be saved?

shutup

Bicycle swap/sale meet up is needed

eeeee

Save the track bikes!
I too have seen a lot of people come and go, some with very nice machines.

I guess it's nice that people hold onto them, in the belief they'll get back to it (cos track is the best ) .
But sad they don't get out, or fall into disrepair.

We could start a save the track bike group, which both saves the bike and gets the owner back on track!

I think once the indoor is built all these bike will make it back out

It's a lot on my mind as I prep for the coaching sessions to start again. There's a lot of people who would like to move on to their own bikes but there's a lack of second hand options around and the cost of a new bike can be prohibitive to many of them. No-one should really still be on a rental bike after a year of training.

Mine is in the attic, I will be using it this year tho. And the velodrome is coming....

if you live in shane ross's constituency, i'm sure that's worth asking him about if he calls to the door.

I'm looking for a 55cm or 56cm bike with a maximum budget of €500 if there's anything out there...
