i have one and am very very happy with it.
it's my first fixed gear and i have no complaints. get it.
my one, is orange
the speciale LTD is nice though, if you can get it go for it
mine is pretty much the ltd now though, with the crankset. pretty much the only upgrade i think. oh and those silver bars.
i mean it rides real nice. the geometry is right between relaxed and track, and i dont take it to the velo (but i want to) so for what i'm using it for it's great.
as a bike noob i'd probably be happy with a moto lolmessenger or a windsor but i got a really good deal on it so i went with the masi and i dont regret it.
