I really appreciate the feedback

I understand and feel the feedback on braze-ons, eyelets, fender mounts, cable stops. And it seems we may need two versions of many SS/FG frames

I started adding eyelets and even racxk brakeons to lots of bikes a couple of years ago when I thought the long march to higher gas prices was starting. Now it is getting close to where I thought it was headed 2 years ago [$5 / gallon]. I see how this effects people; and how it is effecting bicycle sales.

Now LOTS of our SS/FG customers want to commute and replace car trips with a ride.

I think the ultility of SS bikes is just now being seen by the general public; but they want/need braze-ons etc

But we may need to also keep some more 'pure' track frames

{interesting note: some pure cyclo cross types were not happy with addition of eyelets and rack brazeons to our CX bikes - and many think it is stupid for our top Ti CX bike to also have disc tabs. But lots of buyers of CX bikes use them for commuting; just as many track bikes are used on street}

Thanks again

Mike
