Superb Sprint vs Colossi Low Pro vs Cinelli Mash?
Which of these frames should I buy? And why?
Price isn't too big of an issue since they're all pretty similar in price.
Sorry but I'm too indecisive to choose for myself.

Or you could buy the Superb from Colossi, since they make it anyway.

Superb is an infamous name around these parts, use it with caution. It's pretty much synonymous with the image of a self outspoken and over-glorified boutique store that charges outrageous mark ups for an item that they exaggerate as their own work while it was wholly that of a Chinese company who copied an american company aka cannondale.
He knows a guy who knows a guy apparently.
EDIT: I saw you deleted your post akang; nicer decals? That's some expensive vinyl cut outs then.

Have you seen their new English Soixant-Dix Cinq? Its a French 75, but 4 times the price. You should get it.

Thought I'd order it from one of their dealers in Singapore or China.
Oh yeah, I knew that, I just used the Suberb picture as an example because the decals looked nicer. If I were to actually buy that frame, I'd definitely get the actual Colossi.

Well the cinelli is more of a widely known brand and will be recognized for it's heritage and general popularity in the cycling world while the colossi is more of a homemade, durable and kind of custom. But it all depends on where you're riding if its in streets and straight flat grounds the mash is good but if in sharp turning switchbacks and etc there is also a mash histogram that would be better suited for that kind of riding.
