Here is my bike (for now) I am not sure if I am going to keep this frame but here it is. I have a post about this frame and what is going on with it if you want to look there.

It took me 11mo of searching but I finally found a 60cm CAAD5 track to replace my crashed Capo:
The downside? I found it two weeks after breaking my foot, so I haven't been able to ride it yet. At least recovering from said broken foot has given me the time to take a proper shot.

But this is one of the best bikes I've seen in a long time. Great build.

Thanks for the kind words guys! TBH I feel the -17 stem better matches the frame's horizontal top tube and shape of the EvoCurve bars, even with 30mm of spacers. If I had a spare fork I might consider chopping the steerer and slamming the stem but only if I could replicate the same fit.

Been a while, but my two loves are still around! Been thinking about building a black Super Pista as of late though.

My first FG and most definitely not my last.
I've even stopped buying alcohol to save money for my next build

Looks good with the brown saddle IMO.
