Depending on the price we are looking at, I have a wonderful older shimano 105 group that would fit nicely on one of these, the frame it's on is a little small for me...I would probably be in on it, price dependent of course.

group buy, eh?
I've seen them, but I don't know the specifics
what did the timing look like on the last IRO group buy?
for a year now it has been nearly impossible to get stuff from Taiwan in a timely fashion
are you all ready to put up your money and wait ten months? cause that's what I've been doing

All those people knew their suggestions were impossible, and they were joking.

Damn, this has me thinking about all kinds of nerdy stuff to hang on such a frame. Big ol' racks, handlebars that are practical (horror!), sprung saddles, generator hub and lights...

And how nerdy is a hub that powers a light that's bright enough to light up the street ahead?
And we build them with horizontal dropouts so you can use a fixed/free hub in the back.

I've been looking for a good touring bike for a while now, and that P/R might be what I need. On your website, the smallest listed size has a seat tube of 53.6 cm and a standover of 768mm (30.24"). Is there a smaller size? Could there be a smaller size (49-51cm, 28-29" standover)? I may be very interested...

What's nerdy about a cro-mo rack that weighs under two pounds and can carry forty pound?
And how nerdy is a hub that powers a light that's bright enough to light up the street ahead?
And we build them with horizontal dropouts so you can use a fixed/free hub in the back.

I've been reading up on this stuff all day in lieu of working. It's great fun.

I'm nerdy in a very similar way, but I don't have a proper racky fendery lighty nerdy bike, hence the reason I brought up this idea.

damn, that looks so awesome. assuming there is a group buy (and i'm still not banned) would this be potentially for a complete? or frame/fork/fenders/etc as you advertise on your site?

I may be in on the P/R, though the soon to be coming out bikesdirect "super-practical, eyeleted, big clearance" bike might fill that need better, cheaper.
