Does it come with the ghetto blaster? If so, does it come with a rack for the ghetto blaster?

any track bike under $300 is a good deal...unless it's completely thrashed, and this one looks to be in great shape.

SNATCH IT UP!

Concerning the co-motion: Oh man, that is a seriously beautiful bike. I hope I have dreams about that one tonight. That pic is getting saved to the HD.
