My 725 was really stiff. I think probably a bit stiffer then the T1 i'm riding now. but I've got to say the T1 is much more comfortable. Like, significantly.

dooood, that is just my size (I think). I'll call them up.
Re: Fixed gear. I've had numerous road bikes, from the Klein to Trek Madone 5.5 with full Dura Ace 7900. Gears just don't do it for me. Like many here, I just like the simplicity and challenge of SS/fixed. My mountain bikes are all SS (not fixed) as well. But I don't race, either. If I were to seriously get into racing, I'll buy another gearie. But I can't imagine that happening anytime soon. I'm hoping that Draper Velodrome will happen sometime this decade. Not holding my breath, though.

Low bikes in SF looks interesting. I'll most likely never have the money for one, but they are supposed to be good, inspired by early 90's Cannondale track frames.

Why, because they're aluminum?

I guess I can see it. If they didn't have a forward-sloping top tube, I may be a little more interested.

I bought a black NOS Bianchi Pista Concept for a price I couldn't turn down. I am excited to build it up. I did contact Bianchi and the new Super Pista fork will work with this frame and is drilled for a brake. (current fork does not).
Thanks everyone for the help.

I know they used to. Those frames aren't listed anywhere on their site now.

Ahhh, I see now. That's a nice frame. Those overdone, oversized logos are indeed a turnoff though.

It's an option to get no decals. Probably have to pay extra though.
I can no longer predict BFSSFG. I thought everyone in here would rail on the LOW...especially Scrod.

Why? The welds look ugly in a lot of the LOW's that I've seen. They don't seem too bad in the pictures up above.
