Absolutely.

Depending on the price we are looking at, I have a wonderful older shimano 105 group that would fit nicely on one of these, the frame it's on is a little small for me...I would probably be in on it, price dependent of course.

The IRO group buy was something like half down and then wait something like 4 months (is that right? I'm going from memory here) from the deadline. A long wait certainly CAN make a group buy proposition less appealing, but as far as I know it was generally a success. Maybe someone who got in on that one can comment. I was tempted, but I didn't join in, because I didn't need another track frame.

wanna sell it? i need a complete matching groupset for my bianchi. downtube shifters, or brifters or whatever?

It was a third down, then the remainder when they were ready to ship. According to the emails I got, it looks like it was about five months between when I placed the deposit, and when the frame was ready to ship.

That Kogswell looks pretty sweet. Tempting.

All those people knew their suggestions were impossible, and they were joking.

In On Kogswell

i speak taiwanese and chinese, i can help out.

If it can get a good price, count me in on the PR. It is a cool bike.

Damn, this has me thinking about all kinds of nerdy stuff to hang on such a frame. Big ol' racks, handlebars that are practical (horror!), sprung saddles, generator hub and lights...

You are about to ban most of the people that would be interested, it would seem.

What's nerdy about a cro-mo rack that weighs under two pounds and can carry forty pound?

And how nerdy is a hub that powers a light that's bright enough to light up the street ahead?

And we build them with horizontal dropouts so you can use a fixed/free hub in the back.

I've been looking for a good touring bike for a while now, and that P/R might be what I need. On your website, the smallest listed size has a seat tube of 53.6 cm and a standover of 768mm (30.24"). Is there a smaller size? Could there be a smaller size (49-51cm, 28-29" standover)? I may be very interested...

Y'all are killing me on the PR thing. Must. Resist.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a giant nerd, and these thoughts are pleasing thoughts. I mean "nerdy" in a good way. :)

I've been reading up on this stuff all day in lieu of working. It's great fun.

I'm nerdy in a very similar way, but I don't have a proper racky fendery lighty nerdy bike, hence the reason I brought up this idea.

I would love a PR. Details up in a month?

I love this.

In on PR as well, depending on price.

damn, that looks so awesome. assuming there is a group buy (and i'm still not banned) would this be potentially for a complete? or frame/fork/fenders/etc as you advertise on your site?

Kogswell P/R Baby!

I may be in on the P/R, though the soon to be coming out bikesdirect "super-practical, eyeleted, big clearance" bike might fill that need better, cheaper.

Might be in if I can scrape up some cash.

Heck, bikeisland has the Rivendell Bleriot for $500

I don't have 500 to sling around, unfortunately. But their frame should be sub-300.
