I think it's a sweet frame with an utterly crap paintjob. That grey won't look good with anything!. If I was given one I'd be on to Armourtex within the hour. The only two other things I don't like are the price and the 'Mash' association. If Cinelli brought the same thing to the market with plain paint in nice colours and knocked two hundred quid of it they'd sell like hotcakes I reckon.
Also I don't why it has to be better or worse than a surly or a BMW (we all know you like it Ed)- they're made of steel and have different geometry and so are bound to be different. Personally I like the feel of a nice responsive aluminium track frame.
