After 3 years of faithful service the last original part of my beloved Bianchi Pista, has died. I have discovered a massive crack in the seat tube area.
I know not many people have much love for them but she was my first fixed gear bike, I brought her home with me from NYC and I loved riding her. Over the years I had replaced everything apart from the frame and forks.
So the time has come to get a new frame. I don't want to change anything else I've got a nice 27.2mm Thomson layback seatpost and new cranks (due to the recent failure of my Sugino messengers http://www.lfgss.com/thread54089.html)
I've got about £300-£500 to spend, I don't do tricks and want something fast and reliable in steel. So I'm thinking maybe a Bob Jackson or a Brother (thanks to the list GA2G)
Any ideas folks?
