i got a new Track end of June, paid £300 (about $500). Use it for bikin around london, so changed a few things to suit my style. Rear cog is now an 18T which just squeezes on. crap toe straps so they're gone. and the stock tyres i've changed to armadillos - kendas are v quick but puncture too easy on these roads. only 500 miles on it so far, so mechanical troubles, but back wheel is a little out-of-true but that's my fault on all them kerbs!
i like it.
