I have been having a great time riding at the track lately, and I'm planning to start working with Nick to build his new track bike soon, so I thought I'd do a quick post announcing that I'm now officially in the custom track bike business.
Custom track frames (that's custom geometry and custom round tubing) will run $950. Why so much cheaper than other frame configurations? Well, track frames are simple, to be honest. Design work is much easier than other frame types, there are no brazeons or brake tabs to worry about, etc. I do less work, quite simply, so I can charge less.
Custom steel track forks will be available for the standard $220, or I can order you a fork from a variety of sources. Parts kits are as always available as well.
Keep in mind that we're talking about a round-tubes/sprinting type bike here. If you want a super crazy airfoil TT bike, I would charge you a lot more money, because it would take a much larger amount of work. Got questions? Drop me a line.
If you'd like to try out my personal bike (it's a 55cm toptube, and I have a variety of stem lengths available to fine-tune the reach) and you are certified for open riding at the Boulder track, you're welcome to borrow my bike anytime I'm not riding it. Just call or email me to see if you can use it.

Holy crap!?! Hell hath frozeth over!
No Feldman..... just Colorado, so the velodrome is the only place left to ride!
Yes, Feldy, I have been replaced by my evil clone. Mountain biking is so stupid... you have to turn right all the time. It's hard.
Sell out!! ha ha. Jason and I can't wait to see your "sh'ants" this summer. :)
Want to print up some "Fixies are dumb" t-shirts? (That's a joke -- unless Nick feels like shipping them) Which reminds me, I think I have about 5 of the "Nobody cares if you right a 29er" ones left somewhere if you want to plug 'em again or something.
First it was a road fork a few months ago, now complete frames. You're a shadow of your former self. You probably don't even realize how awesome ninjas are anymore...
