Here's the dilemma:
1976 olympic-ridden Pogliaghi pista frameset in Team Canada paint
or
pre 1968 Cinelli Pista full bike
Both in my size, both in really nice shape (the Pog is mint), both eminently affordable for someone with a decent job i.e. not me. What the heck am I gonna do?
Man, I wish I had more money.

think about the geometry. the older, the looser.
that sounds dirty as hell, but whatever. it's true.

You know, you could buy both and flip one of them once you decide. While you sit here thinking about it and asking strangers on the internets somebody a little more decisive is probably buying them. "Buy now, think later" when the item can be sold for a profit without too much trouble. That's why I got the IRO group buy frame without knowing if I would be able to afford to build it.

anyway, i like the 'buy now think later' mentality. you could probably sell without too much of a problem if you had too.

Bikes are kind of lousy as an investment if you actually ride them, but that said... Cinelli
