Isla Rowntree (of Islabikes) was racing grasstrack at Mildenhall, and there was quite a bit of interest in that bike as a grass track ride by several of the youngsters that seem to be taking up the sport.  :thumbsup:

I know a youngster who is very keen to try grasstrack racing ;)

Though whether that enthusiasm remains once he's been jarred all the way round a bumpy field a couple of times, I shall have to wait & see...

Small guy gave the fixie a go and loved it.
It's now on his list after a recumbent.

Our two (11; 14) have got a Beinn 24 and a Luarth 700. Very pleased with both bikes and the after sales has been exemplary.
