the entire industry is all a buzz over it - especially the 20% minimum FOB OE price increases

I have a friend that sells simple 1-speed cruisers to dealers for $90 dealer cost and he is being pushed up to $120 almost overnight

Bad News: getting Kilo TT Pro in complete bike is taking forever. Still working on it - getting all parts is a pain

Good News: Kilo TT frames are at last on the water [no 55 yet] 50,53,57,60 in Black, White, Green and Orange - along with forks to match if wanted. In and on bikeisland in about 2 weeks or so. KILO TT bikes in 55 plus in new purple in about 3 months from now.

Great News: New Motobecane Jury Track/SS frame on the way - Same geo as a steamroller but with super nice dropouts, reynolds BD 520, trick seat cluster and VERY nice matching fork. Lots of room for tires; you can of course rin 20c or 23c - but also 38c or 42c. Sizes 49, 53, 56, 59, 62 C-T. COLORS: BLACK, ORANGE, BLUE, SILVER, and CHROME. Frames and forks in CHROME are more $$. Frame about $150 [$195 in CP] Fork about $60 [$90 in CP] -- frame builder is the best in Taiwan on Steel
