That seems incredibly optimistic. They're introducing a new bike that more or less takes the old tk2s place. Closer to 2k seems more likely.

they already have the tk1. it is carbon. available as frameset only. it will be very expensive.
as per dutret's complaints, i am not sure about the wishbone, but i certainly cannot put out much power, so there may be torsion under high torque. i know that the rear stays aren't as large as i would have guessed for a track frame, but they seem stiff enough for all 152 pounds of me.
as for the dropouts, i don't really like them. i have had my tk2 for 3 years, and the dropouts are still functional, but it takes some delicacy to preserve them. i would very much prefer last year's tk2 with the new dropout design.
