Genuine question from somebody who rode an absolute POS fixed hack job for over 5 years but still loved it. I haven’t been in the saddle for a while, but the pedals are calling me.
These are all available to me right now second-hand around the $300-400 (Aussie) mark. Keen for one of these frames to be my starting point and then slowly fine-tune it over time. Most will need a once over and a part or two replaced to kick off.
I can throw some more specs here for most of these if that helps.
Would really love some straight up truth. I’m still a noob but keen to get my hands dirty. Going to give them all a test-ride this week.
Thanks legends.
*Note – The Bianchi has three internal gears I’ll need to fuck off and might be a touch small.*

I was actually just looking at the Bianchi Pista on marketplace as a daily thrasher to preserve my Dosnoventa. Very well priced!

I’d take the masi even though the blue rims and seat collar is ugly. It has risers and a not too crazy stem

I saw that colnago pop up on Gumtree earlier. Somebody needs to rescue it. I’d personally go with the bianchi.
