hey folk
posted a similar version of this on the mcr sub-forum today, and its obviously better to share the love...
briefly - for those that dont know me - i messed for over a 'kin decade, worked in harry halls in mcr for a whiles and been accused of being instrumental in getting the mcr fixed scene off the ground. so i'm not 100% institutionalised yet... blahblahblah
i'm now working at planet x, and responsible for their track/fixed stuff...
so whilst i've been waiting patiently to be trained on their websystem i've been mooching around the warehouse and just thought i'd let you know of some stuff i've found... this is not the hard sell - just letting y'all know before i get accused of spamming. and i did ask before doing this...
prototype/oneoff/ex display/sample bikes...

these are all built completes, ready to roll. any questions - ask me...
we also got the metallico dildo bars...

look better in the (ah-hem) flesh. i personally think theyre much nicer than the nitto influenced bar...
i'll be sorting out the budget leather double and single toe straps and double and single toe clips hopefully tomorrow. the straps arnt njs quality, but a lot more affordable... i'd always recommend stumping up for triple layer, but some cant justify the expense - yeah... we got them too
and just so you know - prices are going up soon. this is going to be across the board. we get our stuff from japan - other stores get their stuff from eai in the us, but the effect will be the same. the normal yearly price increases were set earlier on this year - and its getting close to the time we are required to implement them. unfortunately with the current financial crap going on, this is really pushing the prices up to make some of the pricier really nice stuff like kashimax totally unaffordable. it sucks. i've just started here expecting loads of stuff to be ordered and found out the orders have been cancelled. my advice is to think about getting what you can soon before this stuff gets dropped from the uk completely.
anyway, have a look around the track section - there's heaps of stuff there - its a bit of a minefield to navigate apparently - there is a search function - so if you have anything specific in mind, holler me!!!
on a more positive note, if anyone's after a carbon track bike for less (i think) than 700 check the site tomorrow or monday
cheers
