but maybe
however, these wheels will be a big plus; they are light, stiff, smooth, and durable -- some of the nicer track racing wheels you will ever see
But I may get frameset only also
for those that want a different build

Frames on the way to bikeisland include Cream, White, Black, Green, and Grape. {by the way, last run Cream and White sold like crazy}
At the time I ordered the frames, I had no idea how nice the Glitter is
next round I will add Glitter Blue
Other colors that anyone can suggest?? Do any of Glitter Red, Glitter Red, Glitter Silver, Glitter Gold, Glitter Green or Glitter Burgandy sound interesting?
It takes us 4 months to get more frames - but I want to add more colors for sure

I am pushing hard for 120 day arrive - but it maybe 150 days; DuraAce Track stuff is low production and long lead time

You say this is the new Glitter Blue. Is this the same as the "BlueMetal" model available to order on the website?

i've been looking for internal hubs... any plans on selling internal hub wheelsets on bikeisland or something?
dunno how well it would totally fly, but the fantom cross uno built up with fat but quick tires (like vittoria randos) on a 3 speed internal hub and tektro r200a brake hoods would be awesome. I could use a 3 speed or other internal gear wheelset for my tired 10speed raleigh

we are going to bring the S3X on a wheelset
Plus I am riding this prototype 8-speed commuter myself
and may bring wheels from it
Have my two teenage kids riding these commuter prototypes with 3-speed
and may bring wheels from these
So in general I am planning to increase our internal hub offerings a lot
3, 5, 7, and 8
BTW - I love the 8-speed performancce on my Cafe Express 8
