Hey guys,
First time poster here. I'm sure you get this constantly (actually, I'd bet on it), but here goes:
I live in NYC and currently ride a Motobecane track bike. It's been pretty good to me for what it is (not saying I can compare it to much since this was my first fixed gear bike). However, I'm getting that itch to get something new. Originally, I just wanted to get new rims for it, but the rims are nearly as much (if not AS much) as the bike itself, so it makes more sense to just sell it and buy something else.
The highest I can go at this point would be around $500--I know, I know:
#KiloTT-- but I just want to ask if anyone has had any experience with a custom Strada (
MSC Customs | Bike Out Loud). Logos on bikes kind of irk me for some reason, so I like a clean look. I'm also a big fan of solid color rims.
Looks wise, I LOVE the BAMF Assasin, but I understand the frame is very sub par and it's not great for a city bike (carrying it up and down lots of stairs). I'd like to possibly get something that has a similar aesthetic. I was thinking of going black Kilo TT and adding more black parts over time. Another option would be to do the same with the Fuji Feather.
Any suggestions/advice/whatever would be helpful. While I love riding, I wouldn't say I'm bike obsessed. I do, however, appreciate NOT having a crap bike.
Thanks a lot for your time.
p.s.
