Pros: no frame is more flexible, easy to buy, can be used for anything, durable as hell

Cons: heavy steel weight and hard to find used

I think I'm convinced. Know anybody that wants to buy a B.Pista?

Buy one. I just finished a custom built cross check (my first) and absolutely love the results. Mine is more of a commuter/hybrid, but with a few tweaks it can be a full on CX bike. the ride is great compared to the aluminum framed CX bike I sold to fund the cross check build. If you look around, I doubt you'll find anyone who is dissatisfied with their cross check. Plus the folks at Surly are fantastic.

don't forget to use FRAMESAVER! before you build. Just some advice.

Agreed advice well taken.
