That Rush Hour Pro is fancy; I wouldn't be ashamed to ride that around.
I'm not a fan of how the One Way is jumping Redline's **** though.

Those are all quite nice. I'd go with the One Way if I had to choose. It comes with a bell. You can't beat that.

The niner is alright, but it can't touch the Gary Fisher Rig with a 29 foot pole.

That one way is going to give the 925 a run for its money. My buddy wanted traditional cantis more than anything, but I talked him into a 925 anyway and left the stock calipers on. The fork is interesting--he's having a hard time dealing with the responsiveness of the nearly straight fork on the 925, so I'd be curious to ride the one way.

Looks like the Pro is just a Kinesis framed version of the Pista Concept (who's to say that Bianchi doesn't have the Concept's frames made by Kinesis). It also looks a lot like the 2k6 Tsunami track frame on Chuck's Bikes.... but red.

OK, the Atomic 13 SL aluminum is Kinesis, but the Tsunami track frame has compact geometry and looks nothing like this frame which has a pretty level top tube.

How is a bike that comes with front and rear canti brakes and full fenders a hipster bait?
And the Rush Hour Pro looks like an actual track racing machine, with Ellipse wheels instead of the usual Phil/DeepV's, a non-classic looking crank, aero tubes and all that... but what do I know.

The one-way is exactly what I've been looking for. I think I actually like the cranks on it, too. 42tooth is pretty practical, to most people.

Any idea when these guys will be available? MSRP?
It's been so long since I've been smitten with something... I've gotta go check my immunization records.
EDIT: a google hit in a Dahon forum says MSRP will be about $600. Nice!
