Gent Six Tech
by Simon · 19/12/2013
Like cross, lots of spare wheels but of much deeper section, and here stored next to the bar – an important part of both Six Day Racing and cyclocross…
HED (with Specialized branded tubs) and Lightweight (wearing Conti Sonderklasse tube) deep section carbon wheels
Beer and bike. Perfect. Alpina carbon track fork and Wing seatpost, Pro pursuit bars and rear disc wheel; wears Conti tubs
…but we are not sure what the frame is. It’s carbon anyway, whilst the beer kegs are aluminium…
Price branded frame, with a tall rider on board judging by the seatpost extension and riser Ritchey stem.
Danish rider, Jesper Morkov warming up on the rollers on board a British Dolan frame…
…which is purposefully compact and no doubt super stiff: what RPM do you reckon?
There’s a lot of waiting around for the myriad of helpers in the track centre as the action goes (literally) around you
A bit of Belgian glamour as the entertainment warms the crowd up
Certainly a hit with our photographers
A cramped workstation in the track centre
Danish rider, Marc Hester emerges from the stalls
Mavic disc sans tub…
Pete manages to catch the attention of his fellow Dane
Nice looking Principia track bike with FFWD wheels
Moreno De Pauw tries to get a moments peace among all of the hectic preparation…
…including that of his Belgian, FSM bike.
She’s back again!
De Pauw’s mechanic prepping the bar tape for the FSM
Enjoying a laugh whilst the Merckx track bike awaits the start
Still hasn’t sorted that bar tape…
Argon 18 track bike
Wheels and wheel bags all held by neat racks
Aussie made BT bike complete with carbon sprinter’s bars and a LOOK track bike await the off
Speedplay pedals for this BT, along with some seriously stiff looking sprint handlebars
Focus, Giant and a couple of Time track bikes
Do you think this could be Robert Bartko’s track bike?
