It looks better in person than on the internet. If you want hipster track geometry, you won't get hipster cred with this bike but if you just like the looks and feel of it, then by all means go for it, hipsters be damned. If I hadn't already gotten a San Jose, I'd be riding the Masi now.

I'm guessing this is your first fixie; if so, then swap the 15T cog for a 17, 19, or even 20T. Try that for a while, then decide if you want/need the smaller cog.
