I just ordered, specc'd and paid a deposit on a 2010 Pista. The white one, because the "sea green" looks like post-vindaloo poo. I'm new to fixed, though an experienced roadie. I'm starting to feel I may have made a mistake in specc'ing 170mm cranks.
Condor were great with set-up and allowing me to spec the bike; the geometry and set-up are very similar to my road bikes. Is this a good thing? Will I have toe overlap? Will I crash as a result?
I'm going to ride the Pista on a 50km/day commute which is fairly fast and flat. Can anyone advise whether I should call Condor and get some 165mm cranks instead? There's still plenty of time in their interminable build process...
