CAN'T decide between Masi Speciale Fixed and Masi Speciale Commuter ... HELP!
I am in a bit of a bind...I fell in love with the Masi Special Fixed (the orange version) - (https://www.masibikes.com/cycles/speciale_fixed.php), but I logically know that the Masi Speciale Commuter (https://www.masibikes.com/cycles/speciale_commuter.php) is probably a better choice for what I want out of the bike. Okay, so a bit about what I want.
I live in Chicago - flatland with many, many potholes, salty winters yet overall great city - I will be using the bike mostly for commuting, but I would like to eventually get into more serious cycling. I am tall 6'1" and I was fitted for a 58cm Fixed ... it feels a bit big, but with the adjustments that can be done to the handlebars and seat it should fit great. I did put money down on the Commuter as they had to special order it for me, but I could still probably change my mind and go with the Fixed. Did I mention I really love the Orange.
Also, I just returned the Scattante 660 I got from Performance ($1,199) - it felt really cheap after trying the Masi bicycles.
Please let me know what you all think would be the best option for me here in Chicago.
