No ideas on the geometry at this stage. But it sure will be cheap. :wink:

It's got a threaded fork steerer. seems a strange thing to do on a modern bike. Wonder if that's a cost cutting measure?

Why would you even wonder? Cheap bikes are all still using that standard.

Is it a good presumption that this bike will be aimed at the market of people that want to ride track bikes etc on the road? are the pedals gonna clear the sides ant dunc grey?

I suspect it's more of a general fixie/single/track-will-do bike at bargain basement price. So don't expect too much.

About the $600 mark. They are going to bring in 50 of them to start with. Aimed at the street fixed scene, the decals are removable for people that want a clean look.

Story got broken on another site :wink:

I think I prefer Insomniac's SE Lager fixie, which is a nicer colour, and more than $100 cheaper.
