Hey Savingthecity,
I don’t have San Jose but I do have a Pista (see attached). I love it. I got it about a month ago for $499 at the LBS. The intention was to get some exercise and get back in shape after a very long hiatus from the sport. I ride it every day on a big flat track that’s a short distance from my house. The only thing I did was to add a front break and peddles with toe clips and straps. The only reason I added a front break was that I live on a big a** hill. No complaints.
Pluses: very cheep, sturdy, fun to ride, leopard pattern saddle and nice geometry.
