The new gang green pista is fire, or atleast i think so. I really like my pista, but that may be due to the fact that it is my first "track" (using the term losely(sp?) here) frame. I've took a ride on my friends Serotta as well as an IRO, and most recently a KHS flite and i have obviously seen a difference in response, stiffness, weight, etc. However, the Pista is still so different from my old fixie conversion.

If i was in your position (which i am not sure exactly what it is) I would go with the Pista. I am guessing (sorry if i am wrong) that you've been riding like a conversion or something of the sort, so a Pista upgraded with the extra loot you have is not a bad idea at all.

On the other hand, Bareknuckles are beautiful, but the build could get pretty costly, plus there is nothing worse then a beautiful frame and sub-par components. I'd say if you're going with the EAI, i would not worry about the money and go bawls out (or atleast try too.)


Eitherway im sure you'll be wicked happy with your new ride (and i'll be jealous to boot). Goodluck.
