I didn't think so until I held the frame/fork in my hands. Then scrutinizing the geometry and my fit sealed the deal. It's a nicely made frame for doing exactly what I do with a fixed.

Recently, I rode a Gazzetta that my friends has and it was a nice ride, looks good etc.

There are five categories for "best frame"

Coffee
Modern Track
Bomber
Vintage

What if one was a roadie (who favors crits) and wanted to get into track racing, say points races? The Felt?

ya prolly the Felt if you are actually track racing

My summers are spent ripping around flat farmland as a fixed "roadie" knocking pounds off and building strength. Winters are urban rides and velodrome twice a week. You know my choice.

This because it would make me feel like Batman.

The man makes some beautiful frames.

One I made myself. I'd take the cash I'd spend on a high end frame, add a bit to it, head out to UBI--or even Yamaguchi--and learn how to roll my own. Come back home, whip out a few more for friends to get some experience, then try to recoup come costs selling frames to others.

Will be building my own... am looking at some 30's frames for inspiration.

I liked the geometry of the pre-2009 "designed by a chick" Bianchi Pista.

If building a bike today from a commercial frame set, I'd go with a Surly Steamroller for geometry, strength, tire fit, fender fit, quality of design, quality of manufacture and low cost.

If I had a little more money to spend on the frame set, I'd go with a custom frame by Warren Rice (Realm Cycles) in Sisters, Oregon.

Actually, the sticker says "100% chick designed". I also like the "no brakes" warning sticker.

Wait. We're talking about the Pista Concept, right?

Yeah, I wasn't paying attention. Y'all meant the steel Pista, right?

Actually, for a time, the Steel Pista shared the exact same geometry as the Pista Concept. I think this changed in 2007 or 2008 or something. The steel Pista then adopted a more street geometry.

Hmmm it appears my black army lettered '04 lacks this sticker... I have a 7005 aluminium tubing sticker in place of it... :p
