Anyone ever see one, ride one, own one, or have an opinion? Looks like they carry three frame styles, two with "track" geo, and one mini velo.

On the site it says they do free shipping on frames and parts orders over $600. I cannot tell how much the frames or completes are though. The Hermes and katana2 builds all come in under 20lbs too. Curious about the MIT mostly (mini)

HAHAHA! If i had $600 i could buy 1 1/2 kilo tt pros, right? Or even 1.5 IRO's (399 complete fixed gears in the bargain bin on their site, all makes, not all sizes). IRO's are obviously sweet/lustworthy, just curious about these bikes at the moment though.

Vix - if you can look at that first pic you posted and not think of doing at least a couple of bad things, you are a stronger man than I.
O looks uh...interesting.
However, this pic of RH is an instant classic:

Did y'all notice that the top two bikes are running 700c rear and 650c front wheels? Also, very short stems and high riser bars. Very trickable.

...a 650 front wheel offers better acceleration and torque power to the rear wheel.
Any truth to this? Sounds kind of like bull**** to me, they just want barspinz.
I know shorter chainstays give better acceleration but smaller front wheel...

VS.
seems to me that there wouldn't be any effect on torque... Though I am not at all knowledgeable in engineering or the like...
