maybe get a frame like a salsa casseroll - steel road bike frame, not mega-racey or anything, has slider dropouts at the back so you could just run it as a single-speed at first and upgrade it with a geared drivetrain down the track if you wanted to. eyelets for mudguards and racks. versatile!

That post of mine should have gone on the "buying" or "noob" thread, sorry about that.

xp THANKS
if it's any consolation i kinda lusted after the version with the mudguards when i saw it at the shop.

yeah, the 2010 line is probably the dopest of the newer Bianchi colorways/looks.
Unfortunately I have a 2009.
The 2010 version of my model looks so much nicer (more like the 928 SL). I would be more T_T but I rated looks/brand pretty low on my WANT priorities.

only if you put immense risers on it though, maybe ape hangers. most fixie d-bags have never spent more than 10 seconds in the drops.

Not sure if I like the current trend for contrasting colours inside the triangles and on the front of the down tube.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 13:20 (fifteen years ago)
I dunno, I kinda like the trend---contrast on the inside of the fork blades looks dope imo

guys I am in the lustiest bike shop I have ever been to (the angry catfish)
sitting in the window inches away from the counter (it's a coffeeshop too) are two redonk bmc frames, and there's colnagos littering the place. cosmic wheelsets on the wall for fukkin decoration and Indy fabs casually strewn about.
