Never heard of Constantine, they must be a newcomer.
It's a shame I can't find a reason to pay their premium prices besides the paint job.
I'll fork over my money any day for a cinelli or wabi though. Can't go wrong with either those two.

I would get the Wabi if you want a good all around bike. Don't know what Constantine is, Cinelli's are also good depending on what you need it for and what you're going to ride with it. Those are all just brands though with no particular insight.

I've been commuting on a Wabi lightning SE for two years. It's a great bike, with these positives:
-Carbon fork does a great job on road dampening
-Stiff enough for agile maneuvering in traffic
-Mine weights 16.5 lbs (I have their light weight wheels), which makes it easy to carry up steps, or rack, etc
-Fit and finish is beautiful
I own 6 bikes, ranging from $14,000 to $1,000...and the Wabi is my fav.

i looking into cinelli gazzetta. have most of components that i got to upgrade my fuji track. then decide to build a new one and keep fuji as a beater bike. only thing is gazzetta spec is little weird. the TT seems short.
