/\ heh, the thought had indeed crossed my mind, too.

i feel a little leery of it since it's russian, but that's only because of guitar playing friends who bought sovtek amps (which were made in the now-defunct--and i hope we all knew that--u.s.s.r., as opposed to contemporary russia) and had scads of problems, including having to buy harder to find russian parts when things went wrong.

i guess this is a waaaaaay different ballgame, and that sure looks nice (it actually looks like those fuji track bikes). i think i should go look for product reviews.
