On top of all that the grandwagon is ridiculous, I dont think kona really gets track bikes.

Granted I didn't buy it for a track bike, I think it suits its purpose with aplomb. I bought the frame and built up an off-season, don't care how fast I'm riding, easy day cruising SS. It works just fine for that. It's no track bike, but IMHO, wasn't intended to be....

edit: Oh, and their copy writing sux. Jus' Sayin'.
