New BD model

Don't know if this has been discussed but I see an new BD ssfg:

Save Up To 60% Off Save Up To 60% Off Single Speed Fixie Track Bikes + Custom Colored Aero Rims 2015 Motobecane Track Custom Aero Rims +Free Brakes

Strangely called the "Fixie Track" when it comes with a freewheel, two brakes, cable stops for rear brake, two bottle bosses and fender eyelets. But it's $309 for a cromo bike with carbon fork. Could be a new entry level suggestion

Why use proper terminology when your idiotic customer base isn't searching with correct terminology? I think it's clever of them to write the ad copy so stupidly.

True. This one seems clearly aimed at the Big Shot market but executed a little better

They've even got the saddle pointing down per cool fixie style. Also, check out the el cheapo two piece seatpost. Definitely dumbed down from the original Moto Messenger, which was a pretty decent bike.

Yeah, but they don't even allow mixing front and rear rim colors. However, note the special offer--"All fixie tracks ship with a coupon for Sperry Top Siders, bro!"

That's why I ordered two. Imagine the colorways I'll be rocking this fall.
