So, I'm abysmally new to the forums, after a truly abnormal amount of lurking here and learning I've found two possibilities to start my journey. I've found a 2010 chrome pista locally for 400 new, and A custom painted Iro Mark V for around 80 before shipping, both in my size (59cm). I'm assuming that most here will recommend just scratching the pista and building something up, but I would still love some seasoned input. If I do go the IRO route, how much money am I looking at to get it on the road with some reasonable gear? Footnote: I make 9 an hour, so be gentle with your recommendations!
Oh, and time is an issue as the frame wont be here long...
