very competitive price indeed. I think step one would be finding out how much it would cost to have it lugged.

If I weren't a college student and had lots of money to blow on things I didn't need, a geekhouse rockcity would be high on that list. ::sigh::

Don't think he's looking for a rockcity. They offer fully custom frames as well..

geekhouse's are awesome, if I had the extra cash.......drool.

if I was to spend some money on a custom frame, I would probably get something that was a little more practical, Im a form follows function type of person. I like the Broakland/Hunter/Jack Ryan type of bikes, but Geekhouse bikes are fricken' awesome.

I don't think it's a good buy only because pursuit geo for the streets isn't very useful?

I don't think you need to get a pursuit frame if you go custom. Their standard track bike is a a pursuit, but I think the idea of the custom frame is that you can change the geometry and anything else.

It's not a true pursuit geo. It just has a forward slopping top tube and a short head tube, like the Affinity Lo Pro's.
He also never said where it was gonna be ridden.

Nifty. Sometimes I envy engineering majors, mostly because my dad's an engineer and comes from a family of engineers, but I inherited none of the math/science skills.

I'm on scholarship, haha. Thats why I'm at Drexel and not NYU. Actually, since I'm from Florida, Temple would be about the same cost I think,

Back to the geekhouse, though:

I covet this bike.
