Nice looking bike, hope they come with a long enough head tube to get the bars up to a sensible height (me no fit slammed no more)

Just wondering about all the components In it , this is a big commitment for me but I want a bike that actually fits me as the one I currently have is huge and really can't appreciate my rides . Btw I'm looking to get rid of my current one. Intend on riding the wheels off of it .

Quick update !! i coudnt wait any longer so yesterday after work i went to bike shop and picked it up, went for a ride last night and bike feels awesome, so smooth and it fits, drops feel a little low not sure if just need some getting used to or might need to raise them at some point.

Congrats! Pista is a fun bike, I have the '03 version that I was gonna sell, but rode it a couple times recently and couldn't part with it. Not sure what style you like to ride, but if you're finding the bars uncomfortable you can try replacing the stock track bars/stem with a more road friendly setup for longer road rides. I put some Cinelli solida bars and a 6 deg stem on mine, along with a front brake and levers. Also experiment with the gearing to see what you like-I ditched the 48t chainring for a 45t x16.
