Thanks for the heads up. I'm thinking about picking one up.
Side note: some of the videos there are pretty...uh...interesting.
http://vimeo.com/103767937
Looks like homeboy grabs too much brake and goes over the bars. A painful (and potentially expensive) lesson in physics. As a 'Murican, I should also point out that he had his brakes hooked up backwards (right lever, front brake, left lever rear brake)---this is clear indication that the human brain is not wired to function upside-down and backwards as things are in Australia.
Edit to add: new favorite video.
Excellent dismount over scrub who faceplants: http://vimeo.com/89577784

Freakin' awesome dismount. If had lockstep pedals and cleats then that has got to be the save of the year!

The only folks I know who do their brakes backwards are motorcyclists because the clutch on a motorbike has to be opposite the throttle so it is on the left which means the front brake is on the right. But most motorcyclists have no clue how to stop properly and for some stupid reason think that using the front brake will cause an 800 pound cruiser to rotate over the front wheel! Using the front brake improperly can, however cause a lockout and really quick meeting with the pavement (again, usually because people don't know how to use it) but I digress from the bike endo. I noticed he was riding into the sun so may have had his vision obscured. But still grabbed the wrong brake.

I grew up there and pretty much every bike I owned had the front brake wired to the right lever just like motorcycles do. Also, the front brake has greater stopping power if you don't pull on it it like a dumbass that is.
My P2 is cabled this way because I can have much cleaner cable routing without having cables wrap around the head tube.

Does it include the aero seatpost adapter? It looks like there is one in the pic, but not clear if it comes included.

The first clue to not ride near that guy (face plant dude) should have been the fact he had his light on.

All three of my bikes are setup that way now out of habit.
As to the OP, I am guessing this flash sale is to clear out inventory in advance of the smaller version that they debuted at Interbike.

Been pretty happy with mine so far, works well. I just tell my wife that if I end up in an ambulance, the first thing to do is find the bike and grab the camera.

It would almost be worth owning one of these, just to potentially capture some of that awesomeness.

I noticed he was riding into the sun so may have had his vision obscured. But still grabbed the wrong brake.I use to race sport bikes and the term we use is 'backing it in'. Really don't even use back brakes, the downshift will get the back wheel to slide during a turn. Which is what you want. Noobies will freak out and let up on the gas and OTB they go. At 60+mph it's quick lesson in cornering. That's why noobie racers are forced to the back of the pack until they get their race card. The video and your comment reminded me of those races.
