I’m addicted to this shit. I just spent an hour looking online for and contemplating buying a $200 crankset. A Sugino 75 crankset to be exact, one which would give me a more common bolt pattern to pick and choose various chainrings easier. I’m still contemplating buying the new cranks and a new chainring, but for now, I have decided to push aside my desire for more gear inch madness in order to save for my true desire, a Bianchi Pista Concept frame.

Everyone here in Hawaii loves the NJS Japanese Keirin frames and parts, Nitto, Makino, 3Rensho, Panasonic, Samson, and anything Japanese with sparkles. Although I too like some of these frames, the bike that I would truly have a fixgasm over is the Pista Concept. Specifically the 2004 model, which is matte black with the celeste logo.

Sadly these things are incredibly hard to find. I also like the new white models, especially if everything else on the bike is 100% murder-status blacked out. I guess I’ll have to see… might be a good idea to actually have the cash to spend before contemplating all these possibilities. For now, time to get back to work!
