i was very leery of this when i bought mine. even the people at the shop were like "are you sure you want a track bike?" i was sure, and i'm going to ride my pista into the ground, however long that takes. but lazy me waited too long to sign up for the velodrame class so i have to wait until next month to get it on the track.

this is a really sad thread. those people make me sad. they spent all that money on a decent bike and didn't ride it. they made their bikes sad. it's not cool to make your bike sad. and if my girlfriend hadn't just bought an IRO, i'd be tempted to hit up one of those 53cm sellers.
