Exactly DoshKel, - Thanks!

I was going for the antique road racer look of the turn of the century. I was inspired by the bikes at Alternative Needs Transportation and old photos. I think it goes with the olive color of this particular pista. Besides all that it makes for a very comfortable commuter. I ride from one side of San Francisco to the other. There are many climbs and fast descents on my route. These bars make it easy.

If only I could get the decals off?

Ugh!

That is really, really beautiful. The seat cluster is unreal.

What is the size of it though? Looks really tiny.

its a 52... were rollin short over here in l.a.

Oh... it looks smaller to me. Bad eye I guess.

When are you going to have it built up? Soon?

im going away tomorrow.. ill build it when i get back.. ill prob just use parts i have around for now.. i wasnt planning on buying something but the price was right

True, true.

Can't wait to see it completed.

ha.. he was the MAN of triathalons in the 80s

edit: holy **** thats funny..

i looked this up after i wrote that top part https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Scott and never knew he was actually nnicknamed "the man" .. i guess its the obvious nname for someone who dominates that race so long

Have you ever noticed that the people called "Dan the Man" are most definetely not the men.

-need another black tire! I needed to post these pics ASAP since i've been waiting since May 1st to build this one

c'mon dude. don't make us ask. details???

No Juan seriosuly... what the ****. THAT **** IS AWESOME.

I'm coming up and stealing it ok?

Once you get the original fork... it is done. Life will cease.

hahaha!
ok. custom built frame, carbon seat post, sugino 75 cranks and bb, eggbeater candys, 3ttt stem, nitto b123, champ grips, record headset, rolls perforated saddle, formulas laced to chocolate deep v's, 1 cross front, 2 cross rear, surly cog, 2 used tires since i ran outta $ at the last turn...rolls like butter and light as hell

Man I wish i was back in that house. Too much fun to be had there.

gorgeous. enjoy puttin' your ass on some class. very jeoulous hahahaha. there is a different front coming soon?

different front? I have a new fork on the way from the same builder as the frame, but I kinda like the chrome one on it.

too bad those perf rolls eat shorts

it depends, bike shorts grip 'em really well, to the point that sliding around to get comfortable just doesn't happen. i've done 8+ hr rides in jean shorts with no damage; i think overall the shredding of pants/shorts comes from people accustomed to adjusting their position without lifting their butt. I'm gonna look into reapolstering it sometime in the near future without the perforations

that looks really nice... i like the color. did justin build that frame? (this is dustin btw)

I'll ;ay down some info Dustin.

it is a Phillip frame.

Trust fund or just lots of maxed out credit cards? If the Pista Concept is any indication, you'll be dropping $6,000 on all of those bikes before you know it...

Dustin...Justin and Trevor started Old Field Cycles, so all their frames are mad expensive but worth every penny. I commissioned this frame back in May when I had money from selling some drums. You got rid of your pista right? I heard you might be in Colorado or Oregon?
