Was running around at stock spacer height feeling like it was riding a touring bike for the longest time, decided it was time to match my flexibility.

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.

nothing wrong with being practical! i get the urge every once in a while to throw the track drops on then 10 minutes out im regretting the decision. if it were me though id leave it fixed.

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 :)
