The frame is just out, so maybe next week they will sell the threadless version. I don't know what the history of their frames is, do they do that?
Actually, my one gripe is the price. 600 is pretty steep compared to LHT, Gordon, Nashbar, and some local places that source from Taiwan sources, and do an excellent job. But, it isn't all that bad, and if it is what people want, all the better.
Back a while Velo O was toying with a bike like this, but it was different, and sounded sorta cool. It was pretty heavy duty, and I think it was only coming out in 650b, which is not that sensible for a tank, but every now and again some whimsy is nice.
