Duane -- Awesome project. I've considered doing the same, building for the track. Never thought about some one else donating the build kits, though. That was one of the things that was holding me back, that I can't eat that cost. Were you working through Amara on this project?

I think they're doing themselves a disservice by giving up the 650c's for the young'uns. But I can understand that they don't want to have to stock multiple wheel sizes.

By the way, those rear dropouts are available from Nova in stainless.
