  Was about pull the trigger and go with the "Vitus from Wiggle", mainly the chainset and the price, which meant I could also add a pair of sidi road shoes and some cycle clothing to my basket for under the £700 mark.

  Sadly got this reply from Wiggle when checking how to go a head with the cycle to work.

  Thanks for getting in touch.

  To place a Cycle to Work order please see the guidelines below;

  First off, you’ll need to go to our Cycle to Work website:

  http://cycletowork.wiggle.co.uk/

  If an item isn't listed on here it sadly cannot be purchased under the Cycle to Work scheme.

  Back to a stat of uncertainty .

  The Ribble track bike looks like a solid choice, website says it's 7.05kgs where the Vitus is 8.5 and the Geometry is just what I wanted. Just wish it came in black, should not care probably

  Yep, still alive

  That's awesome.

  In my opinion the new Unknown bikes are quite ugly

  Yup, the went a bit overboard with the decals..

  8 months later I still have not replaced my Cinelli Mystic pasted here.

  I want to get something track legal I can ride on the Stratford Velodrome, but will also use as a commuter in rotation with my steel frame beater for bad weather or what ever reason.

  Dolan TC1 has looked like the best option for a long time,
  https://www.dolan-bikes.com/dolan-track-­bikes/track-bikes/track-aluminium/dolan-­tc1.html

  but I have not been completely sure about it hence the 8 months... Now I decided to go ahead and it's out of stock.

  Looking around again I found some options. This "Unknown Bikes" setup looks tempting:

  Anybody know anything about the quality and reliability of these bikes?

  also State Bicycle Co:
  https://single-speed.co.uk/collections/f­ixed-gear-bikes/products/undefeated-2-ph­oton-blue-edition?variant=28071282016340­

  also other options on:
  https://single-speed.co.uk/collections/f­ixed-gear-bikes/type_criterium-track

  Was previously looking at either the Aventon or the Viper from BLB.
  https://www.bricklanebikes.co.uk/aventon­-mataro-fixie-single-speed-bike-white
  https://www.bricklanebikes.co.uk/blb-vip­er-complete-bike-beginner

  I have a £700 ride to work voucher to spend, which applies to Dolan, single-speed.co.uk, and BLB.

  And I want something that is track legal, so geometry, bb height, etc are a must. I can spend a little more if I must, but want something that I will not be too worried to use for commuting etc also.

  Any help advice on these or any others would be greatly appreciated.
  Thanks.
