I think all the bikes went to team puma members and people related. I don't think any of those guys are gonna sell them in this lifetime.

I heard there were only 8 made, but could be wrong. In the paint job is each of the team members names in tag. Nice and personal.

hey, check the "NY weekend ride" thread. Msngr is looking for more women to get out there because there's only a couple right now and it sort of puts a damper on things with the lack of X chromosome competition. Team TrackStar practices on Sunday mornings, and there's a beginer's workshop on Sat where the noobs get coaching. I try and go Sunday mornings to practice. Maybe you can coax your female fixie friends to come out and race so there's more competition for the few girls who are racing now.
