I was suggest getting on the velodrome email list and buying a used bike from somebody who’s upgrading. No need to spend a bunch money if you don’t know if you will like it. But it is the most fun you can have on a bike.
Also most tracks have loaner bikes for the beginner classes. So no need to buy one immediately.
This.
Our drome has a fleet of Felt TK01’s with stock wheels, good for the amateurs and regulars to borrow.
The serious guys don’t do much with the frame, they’ll still show up with a TK frame but have different wheels. The cost to wreck a carbon frame, which happens, is a biggie. Most ride some ALU.
Although til you know what you’re doing, don’t ride your zipps or discs around, as you will trash a 2K wheelset, it’s a guarantee.
