I still have this irrational fear of aluminum... like I'm going to bonk it the wrong way and fold it like a tincan, and then whoops... no more bike for me! Would you say that their steel track frame is too steep for street?
On another (non fixed! sorry!) note, Cavernmech, you wouldn't happen to have a set of 32h shimano 7-spd hubs, would you? I'm building up a geared bike for a friend of mine this weekend...
