How about Colossi, orlowski ??? and I was offered a Olmo Pista ( like colnago, also a beauty) is it same quality as colnago master pista, in case I choose go to this vintage classic path? :)
The usage will be in street...I also bumped that thin classic frames tend to bend and damage as they are thinner? is this even true?

Hi,
I`m planning to build a very naughty fixed/track/pista bike with steel frame. The idea is to have the comfort of a steel framed bike for daily commute to work but very light weight so I can also use on weekend training sessions and some local crits as well.
The options I`m considering are below:
- Colnago Master Pista - No details on the year, tubing or weight. Waiting on seller to send me those details but I
m a colnago fan and used to have one in the past with gears and ride so smooth that I
m considering. Not to mention beautiful work finish. - Cinelli Mash work - This one is a option because it has the same proposal that I
m looking for, however I don
t consider to be the most beautiful frame as it is too multi purpose and spacings for tires and between tires is huge! Also, I don`t have any specifics on which Columbus tubing is being used as Cinelli is not clear and states to be a collaboration between both brands... - BrickLaneBikes - La Piovra Classic Pista - This one is beautiful. Just would like more info around tubing used (columbus Cromor or Thron) and weight. Also to know if fits my proposal?
- Brick Lane Bikes - La Piovra Max Track - this seems to be the best/top option from the ones listed, as it is the more expensive, but I would like more info around weight (55 or 56cm) and stiffness as I will need a frame the is light and resists to daily used. Could not find much information around this frameset, no photo of bikes builds nothing at all... please share any information.
With all the above said, would like to hear opinions from any person who already had any of the above or know someone who did to give me impressions.
Also, any link with articles, photos informations around any of the models above, please share as well.
I`m happy to receive other suggestions as well. :)
I
ll be in UK entire December and I
m planning to purchase my frame once I`m there. Looking for a 55 or 56cm steel frame with characteristics above.Cheers,

Hello friends,
Im planning on cycle from Venice (it) to Greece next year with a friend and would like some tips from anyone who knows something about this route. Basically we will follow eurovelo 8 route but might keep closer to sea in Montenegro speacially. Would like to know the best time of the year to go - Im considering going on August. Tips regarding secondary roads, camping, wheater, places to visit, etc...everything is more than welcome!!!! We might consider taking train in some parts because we will have 20 days only and we would like to enjoy a bit some special cities we feel like in the way.
As I said before, everything info & tips is more than welcome.
This will be our first cycle touring trip and we look forward to it!!
