Bikes: types that go fast
its a dumb bike. it costs more than my ultegra level road bike which is prolly faster than most peoples street fixies. besides, that guy is charging way too much for most of the parts. its more like our loss is his gain cause that bike is such a ripoff

It's a funny build in that he'll spend for a Nitto straight bar instead of any ol' rizersz, but then doesn't shell out for a decent stem, just a generic thing. Same thing with the pedals: if you're blinging a bike out, why not put on a set of MKS RX-1's or Royal Nuevos?
Waaay too much money, though.
$2700.- and a little careful eBaying gets you a complete, new Kalavinka. It could give you the capital to buy some vintage Italian track iron, send it back to Italy to have it refinished, and then kit it out with NOS Campy Pista parts.
Or it could get you a really overdone Bareknuckle.
