I hesitate to open this can of worms but my last message showed that I have

evidently not completely filled the market for inexpensive track bikes. My

wife is going to kill me! For those of you that are still interested in

getting a track bike cheap here are the options:



1. It looks like there might be sufficient interest for me to make another

order with GT. They are selling a limited number of these bikes so I don't

know if they will be available. Send a $300 check to:



Portland Velodrome Committee

4318 SE 8th Ct.

Gresham, OR 97080



I will hold the checks until I have a reasonable number and then make an

order with GT. There will be a shipping charge above the $300 that we can

work out later, max $20. Let me know what size you need. They come in 2 cm

increments from 50 to 60. Size at least 2 cm smaller than your road bike.

Let me know if you need sizing information. These bikes will come in a box

and you will be responsible for assembly. You will be responsible for any

sizing errors. Remember too small is better than too big. You will also

need to make arrangements for pick up or shipping.



2. Talk to Bike and Hike. They are the GT dealer and they told me that they

would special order the same bikes. I don't know what they will charge.

The contact person there is Kevin Chudy if you have any problems.



3. Another option would be to buy one of the used rental bikes from the

track. They are selling for $200. To get one of those contact Ron or Greg

Magnus at 244-3939 or by e-mail ro-@hevanet.com or gre-@flashmail.com.



4. Lakeside Bicycles is stocking the Bianchi track bike. This is an

excellent deal on a good quality entry level bike.
