Yo Sigmundur I have some Suntour track cogs kicking around.
I could ship them to ya if you want--if you promise to post pics
when it is all done. Free and ****. I've always been fascinated
by Iceland--what with the Icelandic Sagas and all. The best
one--Njal's Saga ends with the lawyer being burnt alive in his house
(as you probably know).
Back on the issue--is there a velodrome in Iceland? Those guys
might have some old bikes kicking around, if there is.

ps. to be completely honest with you kaijo-velo, I have never even read Íslands sögu, none of them!
All these Sagas, hot springs, glaciers and waterfalls here in Iceland do not interest me at all. If you are born here this is just like every other thing.

Jepp, I think it is great to be a tourist here in Iceland. But people are so crazy over here. I have been training with a bicycle group here in reykjavík an we are about 8 guys average on every practice. I use my scott sportster for commuting here in this small city, and it takes me about 30 minutes to ride trough the whole town. It is sick to think about it because pollution is the main topic these days here in iceland and people are always trying to come up with new solutions, but never consider to ride bike for 15 minutes to school or work. Icelands population is about 300.000 and the traffic office sent out an report last year and in it stood that there are around 200.000 cars in iceland. My family has 4 cars, one for each person. hehe....

Are you sure there are no track racers there in iceland?
Here in finland its almost hopeless for a buget fixie. But I found a guy who rides on the track, and he sold me a wheel set off his fuji track.
You can also ask where they get their parts from and such, the guy I talked to works at a lbs so I think he shipped the bike with the shops shipment, but other wise people spend some money getting hubs and spokes from germany.

$34, with the provision that you can get quite a bit more still shipped for the same price. You can easily find this shipping quote, but I could not find the shipping quote for HubJub, so I have to return the question: how much do they charge for shipping within Europe, for an item such as a hub?

Actually it was like two days ago. Perhaps she's done it twice

That would be me... I have been ill now for three days and have not had anything else to do but surf the net and of course take apart the bike. The thing is that I like the Alien products, have you tried them out??
