I dont know why everyone here hates pistas. Aside from the sizing problem, I love the way it handles and cannot remember the last time i had so much fun on a bike. I didnt have 1 G to spend on a prof track bike or the time or know-how to dig up and quicken a old beater. I feel my purchase was well worth the money. I happen to like the way it looks and I am simply interested in fixing my sizing problem and making the most cost effective upgrades. Sorry
