Rob Roy group buy

If any of you have been monitoring the group buy in cyclocross or the previous one in SS/FG well, here's the new news:

It is happening. Well, sort of. What I need is a name and certain contact information from everyone interested. What Tony has told me is that this bike will no longer be available down the line, but he has no intentions of putting a sale on the current stock (instead just letting it sell out slowly). What that means is that it is the current Rob Roy frame and I'm pretty sure color as well. I'm also pretty sure he has a good size run available, so don't fret that aspect.

Once I have a list of at least 40 people with their size preferences, names and certain contact information (i.e. you will answer THAT phone or look in THAT e-mail) I'll get back to Tony and, for instance, if there's a mass run on the 58 then he might come short. So, if you want one for a great price, and this is a frame that will soon be no more, e-mail me at:

climbhoserATyahooDOTcom

My name is Adam and I'll be the liason. I want this frame pretty bad myself, so you can be sure I'll be on top of this. Feel free to post questions, but your best bet is a direct e-mail to me.

I would assume he is replacing it? Maybe another design? I hope!

I can't disagree, but that's obviously not his business model. Tony's a singlespeeder through and through. Well, his bikes are at least.

He said he was probably going to change some things. This group buy would be kind of like a mass sale for him. I don't know if he'd be putting it on sale otherwise, but I like the Rob Roy the way it is and if you do, too, then make sure and E-MAIL me to be put on the master list.

He didn't quote $. He told me to get a list, at least 40 people, and if that could be done he would do a "group buy." I take that to mean a deep discount not unlike previous group buys he's done. As soon as I have 40 people I'll be going to him with the list of people that want a great price on a classic frame and we'll be chatting about the price.

Think of your name on the list as weight. The more people on the list the better chance Tony will give us a good break on the price. I wish I could give you a number, but he didn't give me one. If you want to call him yourself you can ask him and feel free to post here. You can tell him that I already have 12 FOR SUREs as well.

Guys, this is an awesome commuter. All steel so it'll soak up the road bumps and the relaxed 'cross geometry makes it extremely accomodating. I've seen these with internally geared hubs and they look amazing. Put whatever componentry you like on it and make it your dream bike.

All this for a frame in the $150 range (just a guesstimate. I actually don't know yet what Tony will ask for these, but I can't be far off).
