Bikesdirect Windsor anytime soon?
Are they sold out or getting more? seems like its been out forever. im thinking about those since it seems like a solid track frame, granted you get what you pay for. id just need to swap out some parts.
has anyone contacted them? im thinking about emailing them in a bit.

If you do let us know what they say, they seem to keep saying anyday now. First it was mid April, then mid May, now no indication.

a couple of my buddies have ordered from their site. My friend who ordered a 54 was able to swoop on one in about a month and a half or so. My other friend who wanted a 52 waited a good two months until a bikes direct rep contacted him and said it wouldnt be available till june. He already put his money down and they ended up giving him a messenger for the same price...

The Hour
Windsor THE HOUR seems to always sell out quick - but we have a group on the way now and they should be in about 4 weeks from now [around June 20th 2007]
We are really stocking these up for the fall - seems track bike and cyclo cross bike sales take off in Fall and winter

Looks like there is a Reynolds 525 sticker on the green one. I'm thinking if I can get $350 out of my used too-small steamroller, I'm going to pick one up.

I've seen Sturmey Archer gripshifts that predate Sachs/SRAM designs by several decades.

for $350 you might as well get the real deal. cycle smithy in chicago has the fuji track 06 on sale for $350 and the khs flite 100 for $450. i don't know that they do shipping, but it might be worth it to call and ask.
i'm going in to pick up my fuji on tuesday (omfg excited).
