I gotta give Fizik credit. Basically the entire original Kurve product line was defective (given enough time the shell would start to crack, regardless of rider weight). Knowing this, Fizik revised the line for 2015 and is offering free replacements. All I had to do was fill out a warranty form and attach a couple photos of the cracking. They shipped me a new 2015 model direct from Italy free of charge. No proof of purchase, no questions asked.

Definitely the most comfortable saddle I've ever ridden, but too spendy to put on my commuter bikes.

Custom Schwinn Madison Fixed Gear Bicycle - Medium (54.5)

I really admire what this guy did with a Madison. Like most labors of love, you never get out of it what you put into it, however, I really do think he did a spot-on job dressing up this pretty blue Schwinn fixed gear.

I had a mid 80's (85 i think, white with blue graphics) Madison. I loved that thing.

An '85 would've looked like this:



I'll find one for sale in my size someday...

53cm Chrome Bianchi Pista for 500$.

53cm Chrome Bianchi Pista fixed gear w/ brake

I would ride the hell out of that Bianchi.

A Cinelli Mash with a couple of dents some guy found in a storage unit. 425$ (at the moment)

Mine must've been an '86 I found a couple pics online, but they were so butchered I didn't even wanna post them here, for an example. That was a great bike though. That was my daily messenger bike for quite a few years.

i was watching this one. do you think they got a good deal? Vintage Atala Track Frame Set 53 cm 54cm 55cm Fixie Buy It Now Chrome Fork Campy | eBay

I just finished a redo on an Atala of about the same vintage. Mine doesn't have Columbus tubing, and was a road bike, not trackie. I gave $150 delivered for the whole bike, but threw everything away except the frameset and fork.

I gotta believe they did get a pretty good deal. The only disappointment I had was the quality of the mnfr. details. Mine had brass splattered around all the lugs from sloppy brazing, which required removal. The bottom bracket threading was down and out ugly internally, assembled without much care. Just not a really well made build. Everything was straight, though. My build rides nicely.

Sure looks like original paint, d'ya think?

Yes, I do. Sweet vintage lugged Italian steel Pista frame with Columbus tubing, good paint, good chrome, good decals.

Vintage 56cm Pink Samson NJS Lugged Track Fixed Gear Pista Frame Complete Bike | eBay

That's it!

That Samson seemed like a good deal being original and a complete running pista.

yeah that samson was a steal. i wouldnt be caught dead on them wheels tho

but some kid would probably think theyre awesome so it wouldnt be a hard resell

That samson looks more like a 58....

The parts on it are mediocre anyhow.

The wheels on that Samson are ****ing stupid.

Seriously speaking, has anybody came into the store with them/ asked you to build such a set?

Local guy pawned his bike, it's kinda sad, such a nice frame and he didn't even try selling it first.

Giant Omnium 16 lbs Professional Bike

You want $1000 for it? I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.
Best I can do is $75

Ha ha that's what I said about the Samson on pedal room

Out of curiosity, what is wrong with that Giant? Seems like a very fair price compared to what I see them go for on eBay.

Nothing wrong, no scratches or dents and it wasn't used much either.
