This is my newest steed. I have ridden a lot of old road bikes, but this is my first true track bike. 56cm, all murdered out black, I may add some flat black accents, or I may just fully restore it with the factory decals. Either way, she's fast, light, and sexy!

Oh the Sylvans, I recognize those - I had some knock offs a long time ago on an old italian roadie. Not bad, but I think i'd rather something with a little more area, like the Origin 8 CNC'd pedals.
I will look into the Origin 8's you mentioned ;)

Any suggestions as to better pedals? (remember, large feet size 12-13, and I don't really like clips)

Thanks! Yea, I was originally looking for a Cervelo P2T, but the simple lines of the GTB caught my attention!

Killer bike! Aren't GTB's just so much fun to ride? One thing though, your seat collar is on backwards. And MKS Sylvan track pedals with All-City cages and Cadence Doubles make a great pedalset. I run those and I've got size 16 feet!

Size 16?! My friend, you win... *salutes* haha.
Seat collar backwards?! Well.. I never.. LOL Yup, now that you mention it, I did realize it would make more sense to have the bolt on the slotted side of the seat tube ;)
Thanks for that! Yes they are fun to ride!
