Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Yeah, pista doesn't even mean bike track in spanish/ilalian, it can mean lots of things, from running track, path, trail, lane, cd track. They use the word Velodromo, suprise, for bike track.

The chromed out fendererd pista looks nice but doesn't make a lot of sense with the combination of fenders and track bars with only the drop part of the bars wrapped. Who wants to ride around in the rain with their nose rubbing the stem?
