can you bump it up to a 1 1/8 head tube, and maybe a 27.2 seat tube?
that would make parts a lot easier to find.
if not, id love to know why or what your reasoning is for not doing so, etc. (no sarcasm)
Agreed!
Yes ! A 1 1/8 head tube would be a huge improvement.

I agree--good call.

As for colors, brown, or a deep burgundy with chrome looks really classy. Here's an
old Italvega that does the brown and chrome really well. Green & chrome is also really nice, reminiscent of older
Raleigh Super Courses. And a flat black and chrome combo is always a safe bet.
I think the lighter colors have a hard time pairing with chrome because of less contrast.
This yellow Marinoni pista works, but it's also closer to an orange. I'd also be very curious how lavender would work.
Regardless, thanks for asking for our feedback, Mike!
