Ways you can tell whoever built this doesn't know diq about bikes:

-Disk wheel ridden on street (WTF for?)
-Near-vertical seat tube ridden on street (WTF for?)
-Seat set up for looks, not function (does he point his seats up if he rides a MTB with a positive angle stem?)
-32 spoke radial front (The point of a radial front is to save weight. So obviously one would go with lots of spokes and a high flange hub.)
-Valve stem cap on presta valve

If you go to the flikr stream these pics came from, you will see a bunch of other silly bikes from this clown squad. i.e.:


Also, don't miss this BS:

on the back:
I know the story on the first bike. It was built from parts laying around the shop. It wasn't a show piece.

It's funny. This shop is bringing hard to find parts from JP and making it available in a store where you can just walk in and get it plus they are making clothes and gear FOR YOU (whether you like it or not) and you are hating on them.

If you don't like it, why don't you call/email them suggestions on how to make it better instead of spitting on it. You know, it could be worse. No one would care to import or design fixed/track products then you'd b1tch about that: "Why doesn't someone make stuff for us?"

Edit: Landgolier, I wonder how you are gonna get those "Nuovo Tipo/Nuovo Gran Sport hubs" that you are looking for. Maybe this shop can get them for you. But, wait. If it were up to you, they would go out of business. Oh well.
