The Cayne Uno is a decent bike built well with a heavier frame and fork...which will last longer than some featherweight tubeset. It will ride like a bike...meaning nothing special. It is more road geometry than track which is where it sounds like you'll ride more anyway. It also comes with a freewheel and brakes in case you don't dig riding fixed. There's no shame in that. It ain't for everyone. I have seen it in person and it looks really nice. The weakest link is the crap crankset. I'd ride them until it needed a BB and swap them out then. They look realy chintzy. The rest of the bike screams decent quality. Much more I think that a Pista. The only reason I don't have one already is the brake stops on the frame...I only ride fixed. I'm getting a Jamis Sputnik instead...no brake braze-ons but it does have road geometry and bottle mounts.
