Rather than the classic Celeste, they called this Kawasaki Green.
This is a simple single-speed, not too fancy.

Hot bike. A buddy has a CUSS and that thing is a rocket on the trails. It doesn't climb or descend as well as my 29er, but when zooming down swoopy singletrack its the closest to flying you'll find. You almost forget the bike is under you.

That being said, where's the mud? :-P

I agree with your assessment. In one word, this bike is stiff. No wasted energy.

Yes, because track bikes > all. They are suitable for absolutely every conceivable application without exception. Even if they weren't, which they are, who rides their bikes off the track anyway? Well, except to do tricks of course. Tight clearances are also a must. Fenders are for the freds. They should be called Frednders. Also, :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: .

Holy crappers man, have you ever heard of sarcasm sheesh. Yes i agree with fenders and whatnot but i have no clue what fenders you need a whole foot of clearance to put them on, plus it also has rear facing dropouts making putting the fender on almost as big of a pain in the ass as you.
