I've been using mine almost daily for a month (~8 miles a day, with a few longer rides too).
The frame rides fantastically - a nice solid and responsive ride, good for weaving around some of Sheffield's more potholey streets. It's a great accelerator too, really impressed with it.
Comfort-wise, I found the seatpost and stem specced with the 56 a bit stretched out for street riding as it's all very much track-based. After swapping them out, it's a lot better, although I'm still thinking about getting some shallower road bars for a bit more comfort. The saddle is bloody lovely though.

Hey Esaki guys! Atm I'm using a Pre Cursa with a quite simple setup which I built last year as my first fixed gear bike, as a one year passed already I'm thinking about an update and here I faced my first hard decissions. My idea was to completely update my PreCursa with Omniums, Pistard/Aerotrack wheelset, New saddle, new stem.... well everything but not a frameset and recently because of you guys I discovered this great deal Eastway Esaki and started calculating list of parts I want for PreCursa... ended up with a pricetag of a whole €650, same price as Esaki atm.
So please guys share your thoughts after a longer usage of Esaki? Is it stiff, responsive ? How is geometry is it comfortable for everyday and longer rides ?
Thing is that I'm not really in love with my Pre Cursa geometry... I feel it's a bit stretched out and there is a bunch of them in my town, so I might need to bring something new to town...
Thanks guys! Sorry for a long post, could make it shorter but I'm on a long trip and there is nothing much to do on a train!
