xmas bonus
So, this year I'm getting a xmas bonus from my work and instead of saving it, I'm gonna buy myself a bike frame...I'm looking at the following:
Bikeisland Track Frame + nyc fork
Iro Angus
IRO Mark V Pro
Kilo tt (I'm already riding around on a conversion with a decent converted road crank and cxp22 from bicycle wheels.com..I could take the extra stuff and swap it or sell it or make my girlfriend a bike)
which one should I get? Just tell me..also, i'd prefer a threadless system but it's not a big deal if I don't.

Depending on your budget, I'd opt for an IRO mostly because I'd feel better about putting upgrade money into one over a kilo. But with your cxp22's, sounds like you've got the beginnings of a great mid-range fixed bike that you wont' have to feel too paranoid about locking up.

Mark V Pro. That thing's so cool.

Bikes Direct guy says that the Kilo frame and fork will be available in February, so no need to buy an NYC fork. And if you can't wait that long, then you can't get this frame anyway.

Surly Cross-Check. More options.
