Looks like they just updated the info/description on the frameset:

Lugged steel track frame and fork. Double-butted Cro-Mo steel. Forged lugs and dropouts.
Available in standard flat black or any of 15 different powder-coat colors (color chart coming soon) for a $50 upcharge.
Comes in 2cm increments from 51cm to 59cm c-c.
No holes. Round bladed fork. If you want you can drill the fork crown for a brake.
Room for wide-ish tires (25's and some 28's).
Track geometry. Short top-tube for comfy upright riding, steep angles for "swervability", short rake for stability.
I love this geometry. I can ride no hands at a walking pace, and it is dead stable at cruising speed, but swerving is easy at any speed.
This geometry might be odd for a road bike that sees high speeds (50mph) on alpine descents, but for a fixed gear bike that is only ridden in a very narrow speed range, it's the bees' knees!

Price: $399.00 (coming Feb 2008)
