Being lucky enough to live close(ish) to Anglesey Circuit I have rather a fancy to build a good old British based track bike - like I don't already have enough to do
Question - what would you use if you were going to pull the bits together and build something like that? Only stipulation, brake has to be on the LH side - I get too confused to remember the other way around at high speed anymore !!

Re: British Track Bike - what would you build
Are you wanting Ariel related suggestion or is it open to all.
Vfor the sound it's a toss up between a triumph triple or a big single on an open pipe.

Any suggestions welcome, sound important but would like not to be embarrassed by being lapped too many times either

Best to start with something fairly quick that handles well already..? Velo Venom ?

Venom would go well for sure, thought people might have had opinions about different frames, engines, carbs, suspensions, fuel types... a good few months away from making a start yet anyway so plenty of time for contemplation.

Re: British Track Bike - what would you build
Are you looking to do track days or compete in a class?

Re: British Track Bike - what would you build
Just something for track days, don't think I'm competitive enough / fast enough to compete... looks like a nice circuit to ride though, not done it yet, looking forward.
