Thanks for the info. I have some parts, like aerospokes kinda heavy but lasted longer than my last frame(well guess it was just old) would the pista concept be good for urban street riding, more agressive turns and speed than a kilo tt/roll? I do some track but mostly urban riding(no tricks or jumps or anything like that) just want fast agressive, the pista wont have problems with some street bumps or anything seeing how its aluminum frame?

So it will handle totally differently. It also has a low BB, which means watch out for pedal strike if you run it fixed and it comes with long crank arms. You could probably get something very similar for $200 less like a Kilo TT. If you really like the style and have the money, then go for it, but don't expect to get your money back if you decide you don't and try to flip it.
