In my opinion the new Unknown bikes are quite ugly
Yup, the went a bit overboard with the decals..

Avoid those fixies you linked to.
U wouldn't trust the forks? Which one?

New Ribble track bike is awesome
Thanks, looks like an option worth exploring, although mo real options on components or colour etc from what I can see.

8 months later I still have not replaced my Cinelli Mystic pasted here.
https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/127215/?offset=14150#comment14522561I 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.htmlbut 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:

also State Bicycle Co:

https://single-speed.co.uk/collections/fixed-gear-bikes/type_criterium-trackWas 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-beginnerI 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.
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.
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
