Good Bye Super Pista, Hello EAI Bareknuckle
So I sold my Super Pista Frame as it was a tad bit small for my tastes. So now I have some cash in hand looking for a new frameset. I really like the Super Pista and might just go with the same frame properly fitted, but i've also been looking into Masi Frames like the Fixed Ultimate or perhaps the Pista Dalmine (although just want a frame not a complete build).
Can anyone recommend some other frames in or around the $600-700 range?
I'm trying to use most of the components from my previous build but would be down to sell them if need be:
Nitto Seat Post
San Marco Seat
Deda Pista drops
Thompson Elite Stem
Nitto ADB-X Alloy Track Handlebars

man, a tad more than I wanted to spend but what a beautiful frame. I completely glossed over it when looking at the Masi site. I'd be more afraid to leave this locked up then I was with the Bianchi. This certainly makes the short list, thanks.

I say go NJS! But thats just me. But realistically I would say it would be determined on your riding style and function

I love those Soma frames. The Rush is also really good-looking and affordable.

i was really looking into the dodici special frame but the fork isn't drilled for a brake, thus made it less of an option.

you should really just get the colnago dream pista then we can talk about you wanting to be unique (aside from angelo)

Constant tinkerer
Sell your boat anchor wheels and get something more reasonable. Why bother with a nice frame when each wheel weighs more than it?

Wabi or Traitor? Both have nice steel. Wabi offers custom paint. I ordered a Bob Jackson and the wait is killing me.
