Yeah I hear ya! I'm going to keep the Pista cause it will serve me well as the "tow vehicle" but I really can tell that this is a "get what you pay for" bike. I started to think the same thing about upgrading but after seeing the Bob Jackson that idea just ended. I covet that bike....is that so wrong!
If not the BJ then I'll find an older lugged frame and build up something from that.
