Wouldn't it be funny if there was no 't' in watanabe, so it would sorta be like wannabe?
maybe not, I guess.

Cool paint job, but six fifty for a dented frame is kinda nutty.

May I present the following as it relates:
*(composed and posted by me else where here)
"... I'm 6'1" and love my 650C track bike(s). If you ever raced BMX as a kid, and or, enjoy knee scraping, moto GP gymnastics when sticking a crotch-rocket into an apex (I mostly do that for the attention), then you ought to treat yourself to a 650C FG test ride. High-Performance best describes my 650C machines. Nothing else out there can even comes close - vaporizing preconceived notions and limitations.
It doesn't take an engineering genius to realize the 650C advantage when navigating fluid urban/metro environments. My steel 650C/urban FG rolls on silky smooth (like butter) Phil Wood HF track hubs, laced (heavy gauge, triple butted spokes) around Velocity DVs (stiff mister), wrapped in Michelin Pro slicks. Man-0-man this baby accelerates and g-turns with surgical precision.
Oh yeah, it's f#@king faster than $#hit too! Liken to a small sports car vs a sedan, the 650C's tighter geometry markably shortens the drivetrain, reducing flex/energy waste to harness more power to the wheel. In addition, they are inherently superior, when it comes to handling. Responding to rapid commands quickly, diversely, and confidently. Face it, critical situations are best survived by quick acceleration and solid handling - not the brakes (like we FGs even have that option).
Perhaps the ultimate solution for those seeking performance rather than parading an NJS float. Besides, your effort, time, and earned income spent chasing NJS stamps isn't a sport. It's not even an activity. Face it, it's just collecting, and that's a hobby. Yup, a hobby. Think about it. Then decide what really counts, what defines you - riding the hell out of your non-trendy FG. That's your first priority. Hell, you can collect scars while your at it. ..."
