Sweet!!! What size frame is that, and what length stem?

Thanks! It's a 58 and 130mm stem. I may wind up going a little shorter on the stem, we'll see. Feels about right so far.

2014 Bianchi Pista. Switch between the stock wheels at 48/17 to these cheap but true ones with an 18t cog. Big boy pants are on for suggestions.

Nice bike! I think it'd be super classy with all silver parts. In the meantime, see if you can pull the decals off those rims.

Thanks! Wish I didn't have two kids in college. Wow, those stickers came off with no issue. Better?

How do you like the Wraith frame? They seem like they're really well made.

I like it a lot, and it is well made. However, I had a lot of problems with the builder and this is actually the second frame that had to be made, so I'm lukewarm at best about recommending them.

Sorry I can't meet your expectations for the proper look, but I have no lower back flexibility and getting the correct ride position for me is more important than style points.

They don't have enough size options, either. If I wanted one the 515mm TT is too short, and the next size is 550mm, which is too long. :/

(I've been feeling the need for an N+1, so That was looking)

Yeah, I really lucked out that the 515mm TT is exactly my size. This is why I bought two Soma Rush frames, because the 49cm frame has a 515mm TT. Also, they don't have superslack headtube angles or excessive fork rake, so handling is nimble. The price I pay is a small amount of toe overlap with the front tire, but it's rarely noticeable.

Wow, I'm surprised they don't offer something between 51.5 and 55.

Yes, IamNed, way better now.

I agree with the suggestion to turn more stuff black. The stem top cap would be easy. Ditto the seat post. (Is it 27.2? Retrogression has a nice Deda post in that size on clearance right now, $38.) If you give me the dimension of your stem spacer(s), I'll make you a one-piece carbon fiber spacer to replace them. The only silver parts remaining would be your crank, headset, and brake caliper... just enough to give a little contrast/accent to the whole package.

As-is, it's already a really nice bike!

They offer only 3 sizes, way too small, too big, and way too big. :(

Code:

              Size  Small Medium Large

Effective  Top Tube 51.5  55     57.5

Effective Seat Tube 47    54     57

I'd be curious to see your setup when you're 70 years old.

Hmm. Their road frame is available in four sizes, but still makes a big jump from 50.5 to 54. And then the smallest size for their cross frame is 53. I don't get it.
