So I've posted a bunch on here about getting a fixie and I was going to get the KHS Flite track bike because I couldn't get the Masi anyway, my team manager is being a d*ck about ordering it so I told him to not even bother.

I did find this deal at Performance and I think I'm going to jump on it, they have free shipping on anything over $50 and starting tomorrow you can take an additional 15% off, so it would be less than $200 to my door and I have everything but a wheelset to build it.

<edit> Coupon code 439 gives you the additional 15% off starting on Saturday

What size? 60 and 58 show backordered, and the fork is too.
Are they really selling the decals separately?
Might it not cost too much more to just get a complete from one of the companies you were thinking about? $200 for the frame, plus fork & the parts adds up to more pretty quick I'd bet...

It was a matter of placing the order....it has to go through our team guy in order to get shop cost. I'm still up in the air, but I'm leaning heavily towards getting it. The fork is only back ordered till Monday (assuming they're accurate)

The Kona Paddy Wagon complete retails for only $650 or so, in that context it's a better deal, no?

I guess....I'll think about it. Check out what I found on Kona's site, the super utility bike!

I honestly don't really care either way, it's your money.
Just saying that it might be another $300+ to build it, depending on parts, it might be easier to buy a complete Felt, Kona, whatever. Doubly so if you're getting a deal on it...

That utility is cool, but I think the Xtra Cycle has cooler bags/easier to upgrade. I wish Kona had used their system, kind of like Surly did with their frameset.
