Nice, but kinda uninspiring. Interestingly, the D/A cogs look like Tomity's ground and polished D/A cogs (and are priced accordingly).

i was just at the shop on monday and asked about the hubs. they only have the prototypes right now, when the hubs will be available for sale is still not clear, maybe the end of this year i heard. but, i'll be there again tomorrow and can post a clearer answer after that.

I visited this shop when I was in berlin--great guys. In fact, when I went there, it was actually closed, but they were setting up for a party that night and I stayed for a while looking at all the old jerseys. I get a kick out of the fact that I saw maybe 3 track bikes in berlin over 4 months, and yet there is a track bike store there.

yeah, there are absolutely no track bikes in berlin... except for at this shop. mo's a cool guy... but isn't he messing in nyc right now? the hubs are kind of pretty... never seen or heard anything about them though.

I don't get that place. Is that a bike shop with a coffee problem, or a coffee shop with a bike problem?

Are all the bikes/jerseys/etc. for sale, or just to add to the decor of the coffee shop?

From what Mo told me it's more of a coffee shop with some bike stuff. But the website certainly makes it look like they have a bunch of cool stuff.

is it possible to have a frame shipped to the us? what might i be looking at as far as shipping costs? how would i pay, because of the difference currency? excuse me im 16 and never really bought anything from overseas, but that link may have ended my 11 month search for a frame.
