pista be a good bike and there are others out there that do the same thing for the same amt or less if you doo some looking- i see them everywhere and i just like of a bike thats been put together and more unique- do you ride mostly in the city? for me thats a factor- mine got pieced together and is a work in progress not out of the box cookie cutter style if you catch my drift- not hatin its just how i feel- i dont know if the satisfaction of building a bike up piece by piece can match buying a good ride straight out - but id give it a shot- did i just ramble?
