sorry if I came off sounding like a jerk. putting the words alleycat and brand launch party next to each other followed by vague details of a group buy sounded fishy, that's all. that being said, now that you've provided more detail I'd also be interested in checking out a frame & fork @ $150. also, i haven't been in a race since "look ma no brakes" so i'm looking forward to it.

'til then I'll try to stay positive.
