Visp Pista?

Any thoughts on this frame? Been thinking of building one up as a beater.
Seems pretty heavy @ 6.7lbs with fork. Just wondering what you guys think about it.

at least the dropouts are sexy. the dropouts and the brake mounts are the only thing wrong with the concept knockoff frame. THE ONLY THING WRONG. i miss that bike more than i miss my nashbar, schwinn, or redlines. almost as much as my kona.

I want to see one of the ViSP triple tri frames built up.

If you rotate it the way it would be if it were on wheels you can tell that it's both an upward and downward sloping top tube. Ugly all around. Maybe better with a 650c in front?

Aren't VISP decals removable (unless they changed it)?
You know I wouldn't mind getting one of triple triangle frames to beat around but whats with their new frames only coming in 3 sizes? 56cm max...really?!? Their old 725 ripoffs at least came in a ton of sizes =/

Did a quick calculation of how much it would change the looks of it. If anyone expects this to get anywhere close to looking like one of the sweet sloping TT funny bikes it's going to take a very short 650c fork. The way the downtube humps up makes the wheel/dt gap look awkward enough with a 700c so the fork would probably need to be super low rake as well. After all that, the bottom bracket will have dropped below tarck standards (literally).
/pessimism and bitternes that I probably will never get a sweet pursuit/tt frame for as cheap as the visp.
