Trade: 56cm Tifosi Pista for Retro Steel Build

This bike was custom built for me last year by Fitzrovia cycles. (It's basically a modified Tifosi Pista CX)

It is an awesome build, fast, light, comfortable and responsive. However being an old codger (37) this new fangled Aluminium/Carbon mix doesnt sit well with me.

I would basically like to swap for a Steel Fixie with traditional dimensions. for example a Dawes Mono or Bianchi Pista.

Failing that if anyone has a well looked after Geared retro road bike (Reynolds 531 / Columbus SL/SLX) i would be tempted

Or PM a cash offer if you really fancy it

Cost me £650 and has hardly done 20 miles if that

SPEC:

Tifosi Pista frame, resprayed by Fitzrovia Cycles.
seat Tube 56cm c-t (seat tube continues for another 2cm over top of top tube)
Top Tube 56.5cm c-c

Miche Advanced Chainring 48T, 165mm cranks (pedals NOT included)

Truative Carbon Seatpost

Bontranger Race Carbon fork

Tifosi Front wheel with Braking Surface

Track Rear Wheel, flip flop hub, NO braking surface, 18T fixed (Dura-Ace sprocket) / 18T free

Bontranger Race tyres front and rear

Gorgeous Concor Supercorsa Saddle (very comfy)

Cinelli handlebar stem

Sora front brake, both front and rear levers present, i'm a roadie, i like riding the hoods, esp climbing

Thats about it i think.....

Oh no dings dents scratches damage etc (tiny bit of surface rust on some allen key heads)

The best cheap ally track frame by far. Much more serious than these Leaders.

After something like this?

Looks good, what tubing is it?

I don't actually know... the seatpost is 27.2 and built up it weighs almost exactly the same as my 531c Mercian Vigorelli.

Was this bike formerly this bike btw?

Much improved!

I think so, goes like the clappers, as i said i just wanna go more retro though...

Nice. Let me know if the Perry interests you anyway, I'm conversely looking for something a little stiffer to ride on the track (as I have another steel lightweight for the road)
