I originally got my Pista thinking of it as a cheap intro to fixed gear bikes.
I thought at a later date I might put together a more expensive bike, say two years down the line.
However, now that I've ridden the Pista I have come to like the handling so much I can't imagine improving on it.
I mean, I didn't know a bike could handle like this.
So, now I think I might stick with this frame and fork and just upgrade as things wear out.
And then again, if the present components give me reasonable service, why even upgrade?
Maybe I should spend my money on tools, instead, and actually maintain my Pista as needed with cost-effective parts.
Will I really feel a difference with Phil Wood and Chris King components?
Or would I feel more of a difference with money in my pocket instead of on my bike?
Perhaps I should start a new thread on this subject.
