The Ergonova was awesome but this Scatto is better! For me at least. Loving this current saddle more than the last one too. So Far so good!

This is amazing, has all the potential in the world - love your use of 3T Team gear with the frame - BUT with all due respect, change your damn chain - it's not a fixie man! ;) And the saddle as well - if it fits you well, then fuck it but elsewise..
BTW so fucking jealous of your handlebars

Thanks man, hehe. With all due respect, a track bike is a fixed gear bike and a fixed gear bike is a fixie! get over it. Plus you have no idea how much mileage i've had on that chain, haha. About the saddle, i totally feel the same way as you do when i first saw it. Until i rode it. You totally have no idea how awesome that saddle feels for me. ;) At the end of the day, it's how we use our bikes that gives justice to them. BTW, your 2010 Pista has way better construction at the track ends. Very nice color scheme as well. I am actually jealous too!

Your absolutely right. And the chain is no doubt fine for the bike, i just think a colorless chain would look better on the bike so it's not over-matched. But it's all about the looks, doesn't really matter for the bike itself. And thanks a lot, i'm also in love with my Pina!

The Ergonova is an awesome handlebar. Super happy with it. Especially for urban riding and long rides. But, it's kinda "lacking" in depth when it comes to the velodrome tho.
