Nice bike (Y)
What brake levers are you running? I'm thinking of getting ones like yours, thanks :)

I'm using Tektro R341 brake levers, they were the most reasonable brake levers with a return spring. I don't like the shape as much as I like the hoods on my sram bike, but its fine for medium distances.

Ooh right. I have exactly the same bike as you by the way :D
How did you slam the stem? Did you have to trim the upper part of the fork? Thanks :)

I've already got some parts ordered to SS it :) I'm just too used to being a roadie. I like this color scheme the most as well -- finding a 70s or 80s Pista frame in Celeste would out of the question price wise.
