From: Buzzing around the Portland, OR metro area.

Bikes: Handbuilt steel with Ultegra10/FSA parts; a fully customized Bianchi Pista with phil hubs, carbon fork, king headset, etc. it's tough.

i got a look carbon fork and had it painted. i'm putting it on this week, so i'll let you know how it turns out.

the thing to remember is that the standard pista fork has a 38mm rake. those are hard to find in carbon (they exist, but seem like spendy special orders for the most part). i opted for a more common 40mm version. we'll see if it changes the ride dynamic on the pista substantially.

also, ditch the stock pedals. they're terrible. i grabbed some crank bros candies and never looked back.
