Giant Track Bike

I saw a picture of a Giant track bike in Procycling magazine.

How come they don't sell it in their catalogue?

I've never really liked the way their bikes looked (in terms of paint job and stuff), but their carbon TCR bikes are nice and their 2005 full suspension bikes kick ass too.

If only they sold that track bike.

from looking around briefly, it appears to be sold on the UK market, but not the US really...

Want to see one built up? https://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2005/feb/martin.htm

Not too keen on the giant Giant logo, and black's a bit *yawn*, but a nice frame all the same.

I blame communism and democrats.

Or Giant just doesn't feel that the potential market for this product in the US is enough to offset the associated costs of stocking and marketing it stateside.
