What was the final decision on the BB drop? And about variable ST/HT angles for different sizes? This seems like a pretty nice frame for pursuits (not super-aggressive, but just fast enough to push for 4km).
Maybe I'll skip the custom thing and get a kogswell?

This might be the pimp track bike of 2006 (crosses fingers)

Waiting for update. 
I hope the bottom bracket is high enough, my buddy keeps asking me to go up a ride that steep track in Ontario...
I hope 'we' (bikeforum members) get at least a 10-20% discount on the first batch
A lot of hoping...

Maybe I'll be sporting the new Kogswell...

Kogswell's website does have this teaser, which I noticed today:
"Another new model coming in June is our next generation fixee.
This is our fourth fixed gear model since we started in 2001. Its design was a collaborative effort done with the help of track cyclists on The Bike Forums.
The result is not surprising: steep angles, a high bottom bracket and round fork blades. Back to basics. Back to the track. The BackTrack."

I'm gonna guess since those are the same braze-ons as earlier in the thread, its not an updated image.
Of course, I've been wrong before.

The June date disappointed me. I was hoping to have the opportunity to sell my current bike before the season and already have this one built up...

I really thought I'd have something by now.
I've been pulled away into other projects.
What a wheezer I am.
