Nah, I bought it on Craigslist on $120. I had no need for a road bike at all so I decided to make the conversion. I am MORE than happy with, it is crazy fast and looks great. I had considered just buying a brand new Pista (which would have cost the same), BUT I feel that I have a bike with better parts on it now than a new Pista plus it was so much fun to build it up!
