Chey, do you still have your LOW//?
I ordered one several months back and now I am questioning the size? I am guessing we are about the same average height/inseam- 5'9, 30in. Currently I am riding a Bianchi Pista, 53. I feel like I could go a size larger on my next bike so I have ordered the 54 LOW?? Pursuit. I'm not sure how that compares. Got any insight on this? Thanks in advance

Sup man. We're the same height and inseam. I ride a 51cm bianchi pista and Andrew Low recommended the 52cm Pursuit. I actually wanted to go a size smaller...but he talked me out of it. He was right, the 52cm fits really nice. Its perfect. The 54cm would be too big for you.

By the way what's your height? and inseam (if possbile)?

Thats def your chainring. haha. I love the gearing now. Beefy. Im all healed up - it took all summer but i'm up and riding again. We should do a ride soon or something.

I dig it alot. Its spins just as smooth as phils. The weight is comparable too. Not to mention there's NO possibility of slippage.

i think this is a suitable replacement for my MASH.

love the LOW, just wish they'd paint and brand those forks to match their frames better
Posted 7 months ago
Yea, I completely agree. Since these are handmade, you could request to have the fork painted. Its carbon-alu so not sure how the powdercoat process works with it...but in theory you could. Might cost extra tho. But i dig the rake; the fork works really well with this frame.

clean, better than some of the other LOWs I've seen with a million decals. Still don't like the welding though.
Posted 7 months ago
Thanks man. The welding is what it is. I feel like it goes with the spirit of the bike. No compromise, bold and aggressive. They are clean welds tho

hey man, this is a very nice build. :]
im actually thinking of getting one of these myself, but it looks like theres some really bad toe over lap on it. is there? and if there is, have you noticed it while youre riding?
Posted 8 months ago
There is more toe overlap than both my super pista and njs level. Its pretty major but you get used to it. You really just notice it on sharp turns and learn to time your pedals. If you don't like too much overlap...I know Andrew Low is testing out some standard track geometries...so maybe hit him up.

We have to band together, nice. Diggin' that color.
Posted 8 months ago
For sure man. Nice to know there's more of us rollin around. hehe. Diggin that S80 and the general setup of yours. I'm in the process of making some tweaks to mine (wheelset, stem, etc). Maybe i'll see you around nyc.

Awesome! I've always liked those frames since I first saw them. How's it compare to the Super Pista?
Posted 11 months ago
It definitely rides different than the pista. Its lighter and stiffer all around. The sloping top tube makes it ride way more aggressive and responsive. It also accelerates faster. The bottom bracket is higher too. I love it. Its basically more 'super' than the super pista. :)
Cycleangelo is gonna take some shots of this thing later in the week. Should have better photos up soon!
You all healed up?
