Gonna miss this bike but I needed the space and my friend Carl needed a new fixed gear. Luckily I can see it and ride it pretty much whenever I want, which is the benefit of selling it to a friend I suppose.

this thing looks great and i admire your plans for it. a bit pricey but it'll be really nice considering most people with these don't take them very seriously. i like it!

Thanks! Yeah, I've always thought great components on an alright frame is better than alright components on a great frame, and eventually I'd like to swap most of the components I plan on getting for this onto a vintage Italian track or Japanese Keirin frame anyway

Love your decision to go threaded. I've always felt these pistas needed a threaded cockpit.

Nice! I plan to put track drops on mine soon, switch things up, cheers!

Thanks! I'd actually prefer to run compact drops but these are the bars that came with the bike and I haven't found suitable replacements yet. Track drops definitely look great though.

Thanks! The upgrades are going to take a while because I'm in the process of paying off a Super Pista to build, but I'm trying to spread the love to all my bikes equally. haha
