I've only used it on the track.
@rossrobot said he took it on one loop around London, presumably it had a brake fitted for that.
I don't know whether @Retro_Bastard ever used a brake on it?

After being in my possession for three years I have accepted that it is time to pass on this bike to someone who can give it the usage and love that it deserves.
You can find the thread for my July 2021 purchase of the bike here - https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/365779/
The original sale thread is here - https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/353030/
In a similar fashion to Ross I used the bike to complete the fast track accreditation at Herne Hill and then parenthood and a move out of London put paid to my dreams of being a track rider. It has been used at at most two dozen sessions in the last three years.
The bike is currently stored at Herne Hill Velodrome and ideally I would like to arrange viewings from there.
£975 looking to recoup what I paid for it.
Look made one short run of ~400 of these shiny beauties via pre order before mass producing the all yellow heritage models that followed.

I have three free tickets (2 x adult and 1 x child) for Saturday's Family Session at London 3 Day.
12:00 - 15:00
Saturday 26th October
Lee Valley Velodrome

Excellent seats right on the barrier. Booked them last year and now can't make it. Still lots of seats available so can't imagine anyone will want these on Twickets etc

Doesn't look like either of us won last night. Will check in again on Saturday morning.
