I've previously loved their mountain bikes & feel they're passionate about the setups they create; can only imagine the same here, although I never knew they dabbled in track framesets. did they ever build a complete track bike?, what year is this from?, do they have any photos of this being raced?
also, love the seat post binder & slick wheel clearance specs.
