buy 3 tubes, third one is half price. that's right- most butyl inner tubes are $10/3 or $12.50/3 long stemmed tubes.

New Bare Knuckle framesets have started arriving. These are new for 2005. The Bare Knuckle comes in even sizes (this one is a 54cm), four colors (pale yellow, slate blue, gloss black and dark greenish gray +new pink!), have traditional track geometry, are "drilled" for brakes and are made with Dedacciai COM12.5 cromoly tubing.

Here are various colors that the Bare Knuckle frames come in. And for the record- these framesets are built in Italy by a frame builder who was recommended by Dedacciai. So goes the story...

De Bernardi frames being built up with Miche, Campagnolo Record, Dura Ace, Sugino, Mavic- no problem. New shipments arrived in March with cromoly and aluminum models...

Phil Wood track hubs always in stock. Usually a good selection of colors as well as drillings. Hmm, a little low on the silver at the point of this photo.

Gan Well Pro and Dennis Kilfoy track bikes in this picture are not for sale. You can show up to the local velodromes to see them in action, or come into the shop to gaze at their beauty in person. And yes- I can order one for you as well!

Here are the two Dennis Kilfoy road frames that were* on sale. Beautiful craftsmanship with Columbus tubing and virgin, vintage Nervex lugs. Sorry for the poor photo- it hasn't done the frames justice... *- Both framesets are now sold. Now taking custom orders only.
